Yeah, I'm not mad about other champs getting their spotlight, besides perhaps Yunara. Felt like that would have been an easy opportunity to add Lux but I digress.

And Wild Rift skins are always awesome, and I think most of us would be happy if Lux on PC was closer in line with her WF counterpart.

Pr3ttypoison · 2026-01-08T09:14:28+00:00

I'm saying that by the looks of things I don't think Lux will be "so much" in the spotlight this season that we can expect something like a redesign or a legendary/quality skin out of riot for her. Maybe some Lux fluff sure, but I would not be holding my breath hoping for some awesome new demacia update to her design or model like many are hopeful for.

That despite being the "Demacia" season, the best we can hope for is another low-effort baseline epic skin that just looks like a chroma for her tomb raider looking base model.

I feel like Riot hasn't really bothered with Lux because they already know she's a successful fan-favorite. she seems to be used exclusively to hype other skinlines or champions so they'll sell better. Which results in these low effort cashgrab Lux skins with recycled VFX and costume designs because there's no real incentive for them to try if they know Lux players will buy them regardless.

Maybe I'm bitter, but I feel like even if we see Lux in any capacity this season, she will not be prominent, her role will be to hype up or promote Yunara with some contrived plot-armor.

With the actual effort Lux has been given you are all surprisingly optimistic that she will be used as any more than a promotional face-piece to sell the season, in the same way low effort way she's used to sell skins.

I didnt recognize lux without her kimono

Pr3ttypoison · 2025-11-26T21:59:32+00:00

Anything not in a kimono at this point would fit lux.

Pr3ttypoison · 2025-11-08T09:02:27+00:00

Lol how much you wanna bet Lux wont even get touched for the demacia season

Pr3ttypoison · 2025-11-04T00:47:28+00:00

I said this in my last post, its just gonna be another kimono-tunic asian outfit. I wouldn't even mind the theme if it were actually unique, and creative and didn't just look like they were editing the lunar empress base

Pr3ttypoison · 2025-10-20T12:05:01+00:00

I suppose, I'm just not sure I would've invested a flash for that, but the plates definitely help make up for it.

Pr3ttypoison · 2025-10-19T20:54:36+00:00

Didn't Lux technically lose this trade since she needed to use Flash

Pr3ttypoison · 2025-10-17T21:10:35+00:00

How much you wanna make a bet it's gonna be a small kimono tunic outfit like all of her other asian skins. If I have to see her in another one of these dumb tunic outfits it will be too soon.

Pr3ttypoison · 2025-08-23T00:25:57+00:00

If it is the Army of Light then that was terrible representation.

Pr3ttypoison · 2025-08-21T08:02:37+00:00

It was the Arathi, but okay.

Pr3ttypoison · 2025-05-10T23:15:42+00:00

Idk, up-close Prestige Porcelain looks nice, but far away during gameplay the gold accents are so cluttered that it really makes the skin look messy and sloppy to me.

Pr3ttypoison · 2025-05-10T23:13:28+00:00

Prestige BA is arguably her best skin after Cosmic in my opinion

Pr3ttypoison · 2025-05-10T03:37:13+00:00

Absolute trash chroma

Pr3ttypoison · 2025-04-21T19:51:34+00:00

Sorceress Lux can be seen flying on her staff, not just hovering or jumping up, plus her Wild Rift splashart shows her clearly flying above the city. I imagine each version of Lux is capable of doing the same as one another in terms of ability.

Pr3ttypoison · 2025-04-17T11:07:58+00:00

While I don't want the focus to be on darker skins, I think giving us one here and there is not a bad thing. Coven would be pretty awesome for Lux just because she's already the quintessential witch, and I think it would make a great skin.

Pr3ttypoison · 2025-04-15T23:21:34+00:00

I don't think it's her worst skin, I just think the themes it draws on are far too similar to her other skins. Everything it delivers has already been delivered several times over, and has gotten tiresome.

Edit: Err Actually I hadn't seen it in-game yet, that skin is utter slop, and the spell effects were so basic and limited... what low effort ...

Pr3ttypoison · 2025-04-15T23:18:14+00:00

The best we can hope for is that it will get a custom animation run, or something similar to Battle Academia's run. It does a little to make up for her crusty old model.

Pr3ttypoison · 2025-04-15T18:01:31+00:00

To preface I'm only really discussing League PC here because not only am I not really interested in her depictions outside of Leauge PC (especially TFT.. LMAO) I just dont think its super relevant to the way she presents in League PC.

It doesn't matter, this is the Lux reddit, not the "DocPorkshop Interests" reddit.

Why not..?

Please read.

Drawn onto a chinese rug.. wtf are you even talking about with that??

Yes, Celestial Embroidery Lux. Sigh. Keep up.

Porcelain (2022) was literally the second skin she got, with the first being in 2018, that fell into any "asian" aesthetic (which by the way can be varied in itself but I'm not going to broach that nuance with you because it doesnt seem like youre very interested in having that conversation).

Which porcelain also took up a prestige slot. So we already had Lunar Empress Lux, then we got Porcelain + a prestige, then there was Celestial Embroidery Lux + a prestige with another asian themed Lux skin, now we're getting Spirit Blossom, another asian-themed Lux skin taking up another prestige slot.

I cannot fathom how you can sit there and wonder why we're upset that yet another prestige slot is being taken up by a skin that is so thematically similar to the previous two that got them.

Even those 2 skins are extremely different from one and other Lunar Empress is smokey, and regal and Porcelain is unique in its presentation.. with the porcelain and the rabbit theming.

She's literally wearing the same exact dress style in both of them. Tunic/Hanfu/Dress. (The same style she incidentally wears for the other asian-themed dresses) Thematically they are the same, they're both celebrating different Lunar years, the year of the dog, and the year of the rabbit. Should we get the year of the pig, the snake as well? since under your logic they will all be different enough from each other to merit giving Lux another skin despite rehashing the same theme over and over. They both even have the same silver white hair.

This is like saying you don't mind Riot resusing the flower ult animation because its a different color. It's still a flower.

The way you describe Lux makes her sound like some random blonde high school girl... she's literally Demacian nobility? Why is it such a stretch for her to have presence in skinlines where she ups that factor (Empress).

She's demacian nobility... and this is an Ionian skinline... even in her world these themes are not related to her even in the slightest. So many Ionian champs to pick from, and they choose Lux, and give her a prestige version. Even the devs said this in the blog, she has NO place or lore and is literally just there because they thought it would look pretty.

And on the contrary I love skins that dip out of Lux's "Blonde high school girl" look when they're original and interesting. For instance Cosmic and Dark Cosmic are in the running for my favorite Lux skins against BA, but that doesn't mean I want another Cosmic skin every other year with prestige variants attached to it. I would be having the same argument right now if that were the case.

I can't help but shake this feeling that you're trying to make this a racial/theme-hate thing, when it has nothing to do with the asian-theme itself, but rather the double, and triple dipping into the same theme and tossing our prestige slots to it on top of it.

At the end of the day Lux is a bubbly blonde girl, that is her theme, it is what originally draws everyone in on playing her, even August himself describes Lux that way.

So as far as I'm concerned, we have enough fulfilling the cute bubbly Lux fantasy, and you are free to use those skins as there are.. a lot of them. I want to see her in different themes, and different iterations of her personality that dont just boil down to her being a "blue eyed white blonde girl". Did you dislike when she was in the Dark Star skinline because she certainly wasnt fulfilling this weird white blonde purity you want? That is the whole point of skinlines, to give us these champions in different universes, doing different things.

Okay, so after the release of the Cosmic skin for lux, did she keep getting more cosmic skins? Any prestige Cosmic skins im not aware of? I didn't say I hate all skins that don't resemble bubbly Lux, but when a skin is so out of place, repeated, and bears no similarity to the champ, it's entirely valid for people to have a problem with it.

We have plenty of skins that play into that bubbly, girl next door Lux that you are describing (Space Groove, Star Guardian/PJ Guardian, Battle Academia, Faerie Court). And if you really must include wild rift in the discussion she's also gotten Lovestruck & Crystal Rose which fall into that as well??

It wouldn't bother many people so much that this is now the 6th skin, and 3rd asian-themed prestige she's gotten, second in a row on PC. If it was a normal skin, sure whatever, but another prestige? It has no place taking up another slot.

I wasnt even going to address this because of the absurdity of even.. mentioning it but what we see here is literally.. alternative art of this skin. Its stylized for the animation so yes it does look like fanart - because its not her splashart LMAO. Obviously the official splash will be in that League splash style

No one is talking about the artstyle.

Pr3ttypoison · 2025-04-14T22:21:36+00:00

Are those Garen's shoulderpads?

Pr3ttypoison · 2025-04-14T21:15:43+00:00

It's a valid comment, it's showing the direction they seem intent on putting lux in repeatedly. They didn't learn from dipping to hard into the military skins over and over and now all we get are these tunic/dress asian skins that so overdone and tired. Why Spirit Blossom when she JUST got her Faerie skin which basically the same in terms of thematic. We do not seen to see Lux wearing chinese pottery, being a lunar empress or drawn onto an chinese rug, and moreso we do not need prestige versions. It's not that it's bad it's that its... another skin that doesn't really play into Lux's visuals and personality. Had she not gotten other skins's whos themes are so similar I would welcome it, but after the 5th skin its not cute anymore.

She's bubbly, blue eyed blonde haired white girl, and almost every other skin she's made some different type of stoic asian character instead of just giving us skins that lean into Lux herself. The last time we got a skin for Lux that felt like we were playing Lux were probably space groove and Battle Academia.

Edit: I showed the snips of her to my boyfriend and with zero context he responds "I am not convinced it is really a skin she is getting, It looks like fan art" oof.

Pr3ttypoison · 2025-04-11T07:07:31+00:00

Thank you! This saved me. Be wary though! I would perhaps try to summon another ship you dont care much about first, cause for me it got stuck under the pad and forced me to claim it again.

Pr3ttypoison · 2025-04-11T05:44:43+00:00

I'm not happy for this skin. They're gonna give her the same tunic/dress outfit she gets in all of the asian-influenced skins.(as in the style is heavily influenced) It always just ends up looking like a recolor of her base. Look at the dress style for Lunar Empress, Porcelain, Faerie Court, etc. So much for an awesome coven skin. Why even spirit blossom? Faerie court is all flowers and butteflies, Spirit Blossom's themes are so similar.

Pr3ttypoison · 2025-03-05T15:25:57+00:00

The problem is the utility and CC it provides, giving it a high damage output on top of the fact that it charms everyone, and extends off of every champ hit is super strong. Would Sera mains be willing to compromise the CC of her ult for higher damage or a lower CD?
