Suggested Adjustment: Increase Lunox’s Movement Speed During Darkening State

Lunox’s decline in the current meta is primarily due to her lack of mobility, especially when compared to other mage heroes who either possess crowd control or reliable escape tools. Lunox has neither. As a result, she is disproportionately punished despite requiring high mechanical precision and correct decision-making. A simple and balanced adjustment would be to increase Lunox’s movement speed during her Darkening state. Why This Adjustment Is Reasonable During Darkening state or her dark ultimate form, Lunox is at her most vulnerable: She does not have spell vamp, significantly reducing her sustain. She must stay within dangerous range to deal damage. She is extremely squishy and single-target focused, making her an easy priority target. She has no crowd control or dash to protect herself. Increasing her movement speed during this state would: Allow better repositioning without granting an instant escape Help her kite enemies and avoid skill shots Improve her survivability without increasing damage Maintain counterplay, as she would still be punishable by proper timing and control Balance Perspective This adjustment does not add crowd control, does not introduce burst mobility, and does not increase damage output. It simply gives Lunox a fair chance to survive while committing to her highest-risk form. Since switching states already carries heavy consequences—especially losing access to Chaos skills when returning to Order state—this movement speed increase would help stabilize her risk–reward balance without making her oppressive or overpowered. Conclusion A modest movement speed bonus during Lunox’s Darkening state is a low-impact, high-value balance adjustment that preserves her identity while addressing her biggest weakness in the current meta. With this change alone, Lunox would become more playable and balanced without disrupting overall game balance.
