@Riot if you want Lucian played in World, that's not how you do it

As a Lucian main I'm actually happy to see that you managed to see that he's shit in high elo now (challenger adc players stopped picking him) and in pro

But your buff will just flat out break him in all tiers of the game 130% bonus ad on Q is ridiculous, just so you know he used to have 120% bonus ad ratio on Q and 200 base damage, now it will be 225+130% bonus ad

The problem with Lucian when it comes to playing against skilled players is that you will hardly be able to lane unless the support match up is heavily in your favor.

You nerfed Lucian to 500 range You nerfed his Q range through minions You nerfed his dash cooldown to 22 seconds

Since then, the only way for Lucian to be able to lane is to go full davai and kill the enemy laner in one trade. If he doesn't do that his window of agression is going to be longer than any adc. I don't get it, there is no adc in the game that has his laning phase that limited.

Lucian has 50.9% win rate in regular, don't buff his damage Revert his dash cooldown from 22/20/18/16/14 to 18/17/16/15/14 Nerf/Revert his W damage to 60/100/140/180/220 Revert his passive damage from 50/55/60% ad to 40/50/60% ad

Your balance decision made Lucian depending too much on how dumb the enemies are

sure they stopped playing him? when i set u.gg to challenger I get this https://i.gyazo.com/8633956e1c1d5a6ff4c1b61e23505787.png and the top 3 need nerfs anyway, especially kaisa and ezreal for pro play monkaS

i don't get what is this website but i'm just basing myself on streams (that might be a bad thing)

rekkles stopped playing him upset stopped playing him http://euw.op.gg/summoner/userName=s04+upset he used to spam him quite a bit but now not a single game http://www.op.gg/summoner/userName=gengruler Compare that to tristana or ashe games

Lucian is played in high elo/pro if: -other adcs are trash -he's so broken that he can just faceroll you

right now, those 2 conditions are not fullfied

as i said riot made his kit too windowed but low elo players do not know how to play around losing conditions

This post talks about Lucian in pro play and high elo, not regular play

Riot wants Lucian in world But if they buff him like that he's going to be broken everywhere They need to tune down his damage for regular and make skilled players not abusing him easily

Because any idiot can play Lucian, he is in no way hard to play (which is why we see him picked when their "main" adc is banned)

I don't care about any of that shit. What do you think they would need to do to make him more enjoyable to play and still be balanced? The best part about Lucian is being able to dash frequently. Until you get a full CDR and have E maxed you cant enjoy his mobility to its fullest potential.

What sort of changes would it take to be able to e-q-e-w-e-q-e on 30% CDR which can be achieved with little draw backs much earlier. That's all I care about, not some lame ass dmg buffs to his Q.

more enjoyable to play?

i would personally enjoy him more if he didn't depend on enemies not knowing how to abuse his laning phase
