Both you and Ruby are legitimately asking for Lux to be kicked badly in the stomach for suggesting that buff. Lux has a good auto attack range, has a really good roam/presence for an immobile mage, and reasonably good burst for a mid.

Asking that her other abilities proc passive is just one way of asking Riot to nerf her entire kit for one ability, which is not smart balancing. Her Q provides her with enough safety to go in and get the mark off. Her E provides her with a good wave clear, even if you sometimes have to attack minions one more time to clear them. Even popular AP Mids like Ahri no longer clear waves with just one spell. Taliyah got nerfs to her waveclear recently while Syndra demands that her W be used in tandem with Q to wave clear. More importantly, W lets Lux mitigate some damage to have favorable trades.

As far as intricacy goes, Lux is easily one of those champions who has ways around making some flashy plays yet not being overly challenging for players to pick up.
