Lucian

Attack speed per level lowered to 1.5 from 3.3
Lightslinger (Passive) second shot can no longer critically strike

The Culling (R) [previous damage reduction and change to allow R to crit REVERTED.]

Now crit builds are less viable and armor pen is the way to go.

lmfao lucian needs a nerf, hes been the top adc for a while now. Pretty much if you want to win bot lane you had 2 pick lucian. This nerf was needed so other adc could be pick and not just have 1 that out shines them all

Which is good considering all those tanks

I Could imagine that his ult is just being retooled. Having his ult scale with crit chance sounds like a pretty good way to support him with standard ADC items. Until you remember that ER exists. And with like, it would probably have lead to some pretty bad patterns of Restoring your Mana by ulting. (Especially since ER also ensures you will have max CDR.)

This may also explain why Riot is removing the crit from his passive, With the ER build, he's simply not being mana gated enough. If they are going to put crit on Lucian's ult, they probably need to do so, without it interacting with ER.

I'm really hoping these changes will make "blue build Lucian" a thing.

blue lucian can be a thing without these nerfs. This just forces him into it

its either him or they gut fighter items item 3142 item 3071 item 3139 item 3158 that hes abusing right now. the nerfs to his attack speed is probably to make this build not as viable over the traditional adc build. but the crit nerf seems pretty harsh when he is losing more then half of his attack speed per level, then again no one wants to play against item 3142 item 3071 item 3158 item 3139 build, good riddance
