Lucian was picked every game at IEM San Jose
lol
lol
Also worth noting: Besides Lucian and Corki, there were 3 other ADCs picked:
was picked three times, winning once. Once against Corki mid/ Lucian bot in game 1 of C9 vs PaiN Gaming, where he lost. And again in games 2 and 3 of ALL vs. C9. Graves won game 2 and lost game 3 in that series; it's worth noting Corki was banned in both of these games.
was picked alongside a Corki mid in game 2 of C9 vs PaiN Gaming, and won.
was picked once, in game 1 of TSM vs. UOL, and lost. Worth noting Corki was banned this game.I understand IEM is not a huge sample size, but I hope Riot takes a strong look at Lucian. So far Lucian has received almost no nerfs without a compensatory buff (only one I can think of is the added 40 mana cost on his dash).
Corki also seems to be quite powerful. After Lucian, I suspect he will be next on the chopping block for his crazy mixed-damage burst and sustained damage potential.

hes gonna be gutted soon.
Picked? or do you mean "Picked or banned"?
I only ask because I thought I saw a game where he was banned, I may be mistaken though.
I tried to go through the picks and bans of all the VoDs to see where Lucian wasn't picked and didn't find any. If I'm wrong do please correct me though.
Honestly I have no idea, I know I saw him a lot, but I guess we'll have to wait for the actual stats to come out to see. I, honestly, wouldn't be surprised though if this was the case.
PBE nerfs are there.
He got a hard nerf to his passive on the PBE
still didn´t do anything specifically impressive in most games. Corki on the other hand even forced bans...
They're nerfing his passive down so it scales out of early game (I think now level 1 it's only 20% of AD) and that he now has a 2 second window to use it (down from 6)
