"While out of combat, swap one of your equipped Summoner Spells to a new, single use Summoner Spell. Each unique Summoner Spell will decrease your swap cooldown by 15s.

Your first swap becomes available at 5 mins, with an initial 3.5 min cooldown. You must swap to 3 different Summoner Spells before returning to one you've already used.

Unique Summoners Used: x

Current Swap Cooldown: x seconds"

Context & Notes

WIP

1) Riot August noted a new changelist for Lux in today's PBE Update:

"After a few tests, it became pretty obvious that the Lux changes I was testing were not something her players in either position would enjoy.

Trying a simpler changelist that buffs her in a different way: Power +Mana costs on her combo and supportive aspects. STILL EXPERIMENTAL"
