Third weekly reminder. Lux should use her crit animation when autoing marked targets.

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.

Her using it to hit marked targets would fit her character and voice over, and overall just look adorable.

Please Riot!

Even if this would result in 100 (previously deemed impossible) Lux ADC mains to emerge from the depth of soloQ spamming the boards with their complaints...I still think this is a reasonable idea.

I agree, why wouldn't rito implement an animation that's already in-game. The fine tuning and attention to details like this make this game so much better...

And make her basic attacks on Illuminated targets Criticially Strike, please!

The reason they won't, and shouldn't, do this is that Lux can auto in the time it takes to send out a spell that will mark an enemy with her passive thus consuming the mark when it reaches the target, so when the auto animation happens the target is not marked thus it would be a standard attack in either case.

To be fair, back before item 3285 was an item, I would buy item 3087 on Lux sometimes. Honestly, I still buy item 3085 sometimes on such champs. Lux Sona Janna Bard Although TBH, I'm not sure if it these kinds of items ever did synergize with such champs, but I'm pretty sure it works on Janna, even if it's just for the movement speed bonus. The issue is that these items tend to be bought when winning anyway, so it's hard to tell if they provide any kind of power spike. Especially since most of the time I'm playing support and won't have much damage anyway.

I think the issue is that Lux's mark proc is an "on hit" effect rather than an "on auto" effect.

It would look weird when you get the crit animation, but the mark wears off before the projectile hits. Would people then use the animation to justify late hits still proccing her passive?

If that is true I deffinitly agree, but I didn't even know champs have Crit specific animations and I'm skeptical as a result. But I do hope it is true and that this gets some influence. It seems like an easy change at least, though with all her skins and her ultimate Skin, it could get complicated.

Yes, please. It looks so nice.

Lux twirls her wand often when she's in her running animation. Other than that, this seems like a good idea, but I'd rather have some sort of new animation if this were to exist.

I am surprised that nobody came up with the "I'd give her a better wand to twirl".
