I'm disappointed that Riot don't seem to be pulling this. I admit that I don't understand why they're doing it in the first place - they say she does well in low elos but struggles in high elo, when all the statistics I've found indicate that her high-elo winrate is around 49%. Which obviously isn't great, but it doesn't seem low enough that she needs a buff of this magnitude. But even if you accept Riot's reasoning, I really don't think this is a buff that actually helps higher elo Lux players. Their problem isn't that their ultimate isn't off cooldown soon enough after getting kills with it. Their problem is that they can't one-shot as reliably as they can in low elo, and then some of Lux's weaknesses really start holding her back - she can't clear casters with E, she has high mana costs, and her basic ability cooldowns are pretty high.

This seems like more of a buff to lower-elo Lux than higher-elo Lux, which is the opposite of what Riot say they want to do, and just doubles down on the most frustrating element of her kit rather than giving her less obnoxious power somewhere else. Still holding out hope that Riot will change their minds on this, but at this point in the cycle it's starting to look very doubtful.
