Lux's obnoxious Voice Lines.

I think the old Lux had good lines that made sense before:

"Superior Tactics, I'm charging my laser, **Light **em up, Focus on the battle, illuminate the enemy, banish the shadows, I never think about losing. double RAINBOW what does it mean.... well a Double rainbow is the phenomenon of optics that displays the spectrum of light due to the Sun's shining on droplets of moisture in the atmosphere does that explain it?" "LIGHTING the way, you can do this, stay positive, BRIGHT decisions, LIGHT mage? I'm Just and ordinary mage, In the name of Demacia I will punish you, with your power level I suggest you forfeit instead."

**VS. **

"THE LIGHT OF DEMACIA, any excuse to twirl my wand, finish the fight, burn away the shadows, take courage in the LIGHT, this is my CHOICE, for JUSTICE and all things BRIGHT, never deny who you are?????, I have to focus but I can't stop smiling, a beacon in battle, hope you like RAINBOWS, CURIOSITY is going to kill one of us? (wtf), if you hate magic you're already blind, ILLUMINATE THE ENEMY, Hey who are you calling a LADY????? (another wtf) " "I been hiding my **light **long enough, double RAINBOW what does it mean.... well a Double rainbow is the phenomenon of optics that displays the spectrum of light due to the Sun's shining on droplets of moisture in the atmosphere does that explain it, I just got the joke, would it help if I apologized, the **LIGHT **will guide you, even now we can do this, stay positive, LIGHTING the way, into battle with hearts a GLOW, the world has seen enough darkness, if you can smile you can be the LIGHT, home is where the SPARK is, ooooo I've never been here before, SHINE with me, everywhere I go the LIGHT follows, pushing my limits, I wanna see everything, I don't have DARK secrets I have BRIGHT ones, keep believing the superior tactic is to never give up, the thing about LIGHT is it never really dies, we all SHINE on like a diamond, losing is just an opportunity to SHINE even BRIGHTER, binding LIGHT, we're in this together, I'll protect you, banish the shadows, SHINE BRIGHT, we should try being friends first (another wtf), no? hello person who irrationally wants to kill me its so good to meet you (wtf) you don't like me well I'd rather talk to a statue, we're all so concerned about what Demacia is we forget to ask what is can be, I believe in you not just Demacia, with my magic and your anti magic there's nothing we can't accomplish, being a hero kind of runs in the family, Taliyah don't be afraid you condemn what you don't understand, (wtf again) are we supposed to be DATING or something we've never even talked, (wtf again) hey sleepy head you coming to the fight or what, sibling rivalry this'll be fun, I'm a crown guard but you wear the crown, you're a LIGHT shield but I wield the LIGHT, but I mean metaphorically your Highness, Kat and Garen sittin in a tree and you better just be holding hands or I'm telling, (meh kinda funny) You brought the Sun to a LIGHT Fight, THAT was pro-bab-ly, a good choice, actually I'm sure your wife forgives you for getting her soul taken by remorse's feature of Darkness, hey Valor cawwwwww, I don't get runes I mean are spells really that hard to remember?, Sona I'm your biggest fan, does this make me a LIGHT weaver, who do you want to be when you grow up, you look like you need a hug, but is it okay if I hold my nose, Demacia and Noxus are just lines on a map, do you ever charge into battle screaming NOXUS, aww too bad, you know you couldn't have shadows without LIGHT I'm telling Garen, no more holding back, by the LIGHT.

There you have it, the comparison of the Old and New Lux voice overs.

My opinion is stated in the title, I will add that Lux in the New Voice overs is not all bad, and expanding on the interaction between champs is cool and fun, however, I think the LIGHT motto is a bit overdone, and so is the political agenda sleight of hand about "Choice, and not calling her a lady" whats up with that, I don't think it has a place in the game, and its not related to tactics, light or doing battle. I think the comment she makes about Garen and Kat is silly and funny, I have nothing against it. The comments about " we should try being friends first, are we supposed to be DATING or something we've never even talked, hope you like RAINBOWS, CURIOSITY is going to kill one of us," is all a little out of place and suggestive.

I welcome the down votes because I know they are coming, and also the hateful comments for me speaking my mind on this.

Quick Caveat, I do not wish to talk bad about the hard work that went into the voice acting for this Champ, and I love a lot of the Voice acting, it is world class and has my utmost respect and admiration. [garen-swing]

They're going a bit overboard with each re-work, yeah. Characters that were a bit too quiet/repetitive before are constantly spouting all sorts of nonsense now. It's also weird when the newer character/rework has a lot to say to older/less recently reworked champs who have nothing to say in return (it's like I can hear them thinking "What? Who the FUCK are you??")

The social justice stuff seems like a bit of a reach. There is a bit of a metaphor in Lux’s lore about having to live in a society that discriminates against her for something she can’t control, so of course there’s gonna be SOME subtext. It’s in line with how the lore is written.

I will concede that she has a bit too many light-based quotes, though. A lot of them are nice, but some get irritating fast.

The “dating” lines are references to community ships, making them light-hearted fanservice at worst. I also fail to see how “hope you like rainbows!” is suggestive.
