Elementalist Lux Q and E are very similar

Is it possible to make each one of them more distinguishable?

I've had 3 games with Elementalist Lux

Hey AquariusGine -

Same question as koreansmurf8751 - do you mean the projectile, or the spell? We had several teams' eyes on the particles - including gameplay, and we had the go ahead for these particles. We had several other iterations of particles that they said were absolutely unclear, so we made ...three? three more iterations to land with what you're seeing on live.

Do you think this is something you're struggling with due to adjusting to the new skin, or do you think it's consistently off, and something you wouldn't learn over time? It's a discussion our team wouldn't be opposed to having again, but no guarantees on changes.

Oh dear I'm sorry I don't know the difference. What I meant was when she uses Q , or E, I can't tell which is which. Like should I dodge it or get snared?

Haha, no worries, just wanted to make sure we were on the same page. I can speak with the team today and see if/what changes could potentially be made.

is he talking about the effects or the actual projectile?

The projectiles are often indistinguishable. When i see them in thinking "what is lux likely trying to use right now." Because they're so hard to distinguish.

I'm also curious about colorblind players' view of her reddish skin and how the particles don't... seem to stick out as much since they're a dim red.

I have never posted on the forums in all my years of playing, but I am here now to agree that lux's (Elementalist) Q and E (animations) are harder to tell apart than they should be.
