Make Lux use her crit animation when hitting illuminated targets! Weekly Reminder 2!

Terozu··9 votes·4,250 views

So I started these reminders a while ago, but I gave up because there was no way for the game to check if the target was illuminated. Until I realized Kai'Sa has this exact mechanic if her Auto will proc her passive's execute. Which means Riot does have the tech. There's actual precedence here! J'accuse!

Getting right to it;

Lux should use her Crit animation when autoing targets marked with her passive, illumination.

For those of you who don't know her crit animation is her twirling her wand, it's just about never used, despite this she has a quote about twirling her wand which she almost never does.

Video of her crit.(and almost all other base skin crits if you're interested) https://youtu.be/A35XlWYR5co?t=16m12s

To further emphasize why this should happen please look at these pieces of evidence; Exhibit A: https://imgur.com/MDGDsu9.png[] As you can see, this is a picture of Lux. While Lux is cute on her own, the staff next to her is simply boring. In order to solve this problem, Exhibit B: https://imgur.com/vulel7p.png[] As can be observed, this is instead awesome and fun. With a spinning light wand and lux's odd sparkles that were caused by me being bad with PNG files and transparency yet lend support to my cause.

Nothing.

Just like Kai'Sa's passive.

This really isn’t needed. Seriously. There are other champs right now that need extra visuals such as DrMundo. And besides, you’re never really going to see it

Nundo needs a vgu not new animations.

And why does Lux need this? She has just about everything. Also it's true you're never going to see it.

Because it's an easy and simple cosmetic change?

They should probably do this with everyone who has empowered autos, tbh.

Doesn't this kind of present a lot of gameplay problems and implications?

Like what if you only apply the E mid-AA?

It's the AA that's being altered but rather a debuff being procc'd, so wouldn't this support the implication that's it's the AA dealing bonus damage.

Nothing would happen.

Same as nothing happens if an ally raises the number of Kai'Sa stacks after she attacks.

Sexy Jack Rabbit1 votes

Well that's not correct because Kai'sa passive has a set number of times it can stack.

Lux's crit animation implies her next AA will do more damage, which if cast mid E cast would not happen. This leads to misinformation being spread about how her damage is applied.

It just seems misleading, especially in correspondence with how other Crit animations are used.

It would literally be the same exact situation.

No special animation but still bonus damage. Why is it okay for Kai'Sa but suddenly a problem for Lux.

Sexy Jack Rabbit1 votes

Because Kai'sa has inbuilt Visual Feedback for that in the form of her Stack indicator, whereas Lux does not.

...Lux has a mark too.

It's the same thing.

It has the same conditions.
