Elementalist Lux Mystic Form for Players Battling Dementia

For players who themselves are battling Dementia or who have relatives doing the same, it can be really tough topic.

Elementalist Lux is a favourite skin of many, especially given the status as one of the ultimate skins in the game. For her mystic form, she has a 1 in 3 chance of yelling the word "Dementia" at the top of her lungs when casting her ultimate (something Lux is known to do quite frequently ;)).

Could Riot please remove this voice line and just leave the other two in its stead? I don't believe this reference is in keeping with the otherwise charming and entertaining voice lines for that form.

While I understand it could be unsettling to hear that shouted when playing Lux, especially if you have dementia, this is almost certainly in the context of “dementia” being able to mean “lunacy” in Latin, fitting with the fae theme. Admittedly, they could have chosen a better word, but it’s for the “Demacia” pun.

I don’t think they’ll change it, really. If it bothers you, just choose a form other than Mystic.
