My guess is that it's more of a "comfort" thing, like when they "buffed" MF's Q so that it has the same range as her auto-attack, making it smoother. They want to make auto-Condemn combos easier to hit, or something like that, because it helps the "flow" of the champ.

I read their c/p of the big VUs thread and, well... "We want to factions and themes to our champions. - What about Rengar, all we know is he's been taught by a human and he hates Kha'Zix. Where is your factional stuff? He's pretty disconnected actually. - That's not a problem, Rengar is fine."
Then Trundle promoted to Ice Troll King because "he feels disconnected, we can't tell stories about him"... Come on, the only tie is "Kha'Zix comes from the Void, which doesn't mean anything apart from the fact that we can make him aggressive and monster-like and call it a day", and Rengar only has the rivalry thing going on, you could easily do the exact same thing with Trundle (you'd lose the AvP connection obviously, but I mean in League context that'd work as well). Double standards all the way. :/


About Lux, she's basically a combo of Anivia and Nidalee: potentially infinite super-high damage/range poke on low cooldowns (she wants the 40% CDR so Q and R are spammy, and her ult, well... ), along with supreme wave-clear and counter-initiation/disengage suppression. She's safe to a fault, with cooldowns and damage (especially her ultimate, the base damage is already absurd for the range/cooldown before factoring in her passive) allowing her to treat AP as icing once she has enough to clear, CDR and some form of mana sustainability being her primary stats. Making her slower seems sensible, considering her already huge range she doesn't need to be amongst the fastest running mages on top of that. If you manage to get on top of her, you should have more opportunities to stick.

I was thinking about Anivia mainly for the late game and general anti-siege capabilities. But that's one of my gripes with her (the amount of damage from a friggin' safe champ, how she can reach the "all-in-one" package stage that Anivia sports too), so I guess I focus on that. Somebody was extremely enthusiastic when he first realised that with maxed CDR, Lux can ult every creep wave and as such virtually deny single-lane tower pushes indefinitely assuming she has enough mana regen (Morello, Grail, blue buff, Soraka, etc.); I was pretty dejected, as it makes for extremely stale and boring gameplay, and essentially nulls any counterpush attempts at a comeback from the opposing team (as a splitpush requires you to be ahead, if you aren't and they have Lux or Anivia to single-handedly nullify a push even after a lost teamfight, well... ).

But I'm a hater. :<

Really this is the most OP thing about Lux that I've experienced. You have games where the enemy team gets baron and you say I'MMA ULT EVERY CREEP WAVE WE'RE NOT FIGHTING FOR A WHILE.

It's dumb, and boring, and extremely effective.
