Anyone else happy for the upcoming Lucian nerfs?

I have hated playing against him for such a long time. He is super oppressive where more often than not, just by picking him, you win lane. So the nerfs to him are finally coming (if they go through). No longer will he be a 100% pick/ban for me and likely others. I just hope RIOT does not try and make more generalist champion great at everything again. Sure it might make the champion more fun, but that is likely due to how easy it is to win as them since they have no real significant weakness.

don't worry, they'll be reverted or something else will make him stupid oppressive again in another patch or two.

Lucian does not auto-win lane, he has plenty of lane counters and does not need any nerfs. His short range is already a huge weakness in the game; he needs to be able to duel and shouldn't be forced into a crit build when it isn't his optimal build path or playstyle. That is like slowing the attack speed of hyper-carries. Lucian is your early-mid game champion, not a scaling late-game champion. It wasn't until the bork changes that Lucian was viable again. Before that, he was garbo.

item 3153 item 3071 are his man items, not crit per say. Sure item 3046 and item 3508 are good crit items for him, but he can work around them and are more mid-late game items after his core.
