Why do the Ionians have such a disdain for Lux in their interactions?

Akali is outright hateful toward her, while Xayah hates her for being a "ray of sunshine", yet they have no possible lore connection. Why are they so mean? [sg-janna]

Well, Ionia is currently going through a war internally and externally.

Externally: Noxus Internally: Magic corruption within the lands

When you have someone bubbly, happy, and optimistic around, while you saw your friends and family die in front of you and you are still fighting for hope and peace, it shows a sense of ignorance and being out of touch with reality.

While Lux have her own struggles (keeping her magic from Demacia, releasing Sylas into the world), her outward portrayal is perceived as vapid and carefree, without any knowledge of the world, which rubs a lot of Ionians the wrong way.

I quite like it. It shows a dichotomy with many subtle layers and implications.

Because she has more skins than every Ionian champion put together

Well, she is Lux, do they need another reason?

Because she's from Demacia.

Taunt interactions in general are suppose to be snarky/mean/sassy/savage etc. I think Akali interaction was mainly because of how Akali likes to work in the shadows as a ninja and Lux is light-y and stuff

Cause she is annoying as hell and her bUbBlY pErSoNa would rub anyone whose country is currently facing a war-like invasion the wrong way.

Just be glad Jhin doesn't have one for her.

Follow up question, why is Lux so damn harsh to Lucian in her taunts?!
