Does anyone else think Lucian needs better defense for 500 range?

Don't get me wrong, Lucian has decent mobility. But when I look at Vayne, I realized she is able to survive close combat skirmishes not only because of her mobility, but also because of her stealth/self peel. I think Vayne has great defense because stealth allows her to disengage and re-engage on her terms. That means incoming targeted abilities/auto attacks have a chance to be canceled if they are not cast in time when Vayne enters stealth mode. Not only that, but once she enters stealth, enemies have to either wait for her to reappear, disengage, or target someone else. This allows Vayne to redirect enemy focus away from her. Plus Vayne gains about 100 bonus speed while facing targets with her ult

Now when you look at Lucian...

You say yea he is mobile, but does he have the ability to redirect enemy focus? No. Can he cause targeted abilities to cancel if not cast in time? No. Does he have self peel? No. Does he have CC? No Does he have extra movement speed? Yes but very conditional. W has to land and target has to be hit to refresh buff constantly.

He does have a long range ult, but that's useless in close combat. Plus a huge cooldown. His q poke is only good in lane and has a delay.

My point is, riot wants Lucian to get close into the battle without any real tools to survive.

I think his W needs more defense utility as Lucian has no cc. I'm not talking more movement speed, but a unique mechanic that will help him survive.

What I suggest is, if a target is hit by Lucian W while facing him, they get a debuff called double vision. If Lucian cast his dash while enemy is facing him, they see a double version of Lucian. 1 version is an illusion of Lucian where he cast the dash, and the other is Lucian himselt at the end of dash location.

The illusion last 0.25-0.5 seconds, and will take incoming damage from targeted abilities/ auto attacks instead of Lucian while he dashes.

I realize this is a little op but it has counter play. First the enemy has to be facing Lucian when W lands to gain double vision debuff, then they also have to be facing him when he dashes for the illusion to be produced. The illusion also does not last very long.

Also, Lucian is a Gunslinger who uses light to fight his targets. He should have some kinda visually blinding/dazzling/illusion like debuff to compensate for no CC. Because Lucian damage definitely does not compensate for his lack of CC. This will also make him unique and give him his own niche.
