Lux Rework?

im sure this is going to get downvoted but i just figure lux is one of leagues first champions and has a somewhat outdated kit. i would like her to be pretty much the same cause she is my main and i would die if i couldnt play her anymore, but at the same time i feel like (and maybe riot feels the same) that she is not played competitively (ie lcs) because she basically isnt "flashy" enough.

Anyway here is how i thought "if" riot was gonna rework her how to do it.

i thought it would be cool to have some of her spells revolve around her W. since she "throws her wand out" even though animation wise she is still holding onto it.

so it would basically be like orianna's ball, so she can w out and cast a spell at the same time.

this would allow her q to hit at different angles kinda like zoe q but u have to be quick cause the wand doesnt stop moving, her e would drop directly below where her wand is this would basically eliminate spell animation of e so she can say shield an ally and slow the enemy at the same time, and her ult i had different ideas

one idea was to have lux shoot a narrow laser and her wand to shoot her current laser, where the wand dmg is low and no longer pops her passive but body laser is high i would say maybe like wand dmg like 35% of her current ult dmg and the narrow laser like 90% percent of her current ult dmg, this would make direct hits feel good but when you get hit by an ult that clearly missed (#hitboxes) at least its only 35%. She can also use this so that she has like two lines of ulting like zed q'ing, but the wand dmg is low so it would be somewhat situational.

another idea was to have her ult refract the light if it hits the wand, so its the same dmg up until it hits the wand but once it hits the wand it spreads in massive aoe angle spread but massively reduces the dmg after it hits the wand so this wouldnt be useful unless like the entire enemy team is low hp and too spread out to hit them all

one last idea might be like if the ult its the wand it leaves behind a white blinding light area kinda like a graves smokescreen.

well im sure people will think this is op and downvote it, or maybe just cause they hate lux they downvote, but the idea was more for the rework not to introduce my ideas i just was giving ideas for a rework while keeping her playstyle similar

I wouldn't say her kit is really outdated. She's older, yes, but her kit holds up well unlike other champions. She still sees a good amount of solo queue play. There are plenty of champions that are good in solo queue that you'll almost never see in pro play. Darius comes to mind, as well as probably the majority of the assassin crew. Katarina is one of the flashier highlight reel-type champions and she's awful in pro play.

Fuck off with all those reworks. Come on, game has to have at least SOME original content left in it.

Luxanna's kit is an updated version of Morgana's kit, and since Morg is still considered modern appropriate, so is Lux.

Only thing that needs to be reworked in Lux is her old skins, she looks terrible and it's a shame 😟😟
