What is Lucian's intended weakness?

Blakiepug·Oct 27, 2016·1 votes·796 views

I'm honestly curious. When I look at Lucian, he is defined to me as the mobile adc really good at getting where he wants to go without many interruptions. With that logic, I would kind of think of him as the inverse of Ashe, where his damage isn't as high but he excels at getting in and out, however, I'm not sure that his damage output is his weakness since he can easily out damage the majority of other adcs. Which leads me to wonder what is his intended weakness? Maybe I am just not seeing it, which is why I am asking. :)

he's more of a burst-focus adc with the way he pairs his auto attacks from being a castor-adc. He also lacks any sort of cc in his kit, where as most adcs have at least one source of cc. This means he provides no utility for his team and provides no self-peel for himself, in which case he has hyper mobility instead

Oh duh... his lack of cc. Thanks! XD I knew it was probably something pretty obvious that I was missing.

He's black, which means if he is in a game with Officer Vi, Constable Trundle, or Officer Caitlyn, he gets 6 warning shots in the back and loses immediately.

Squishy.

But like, is that considered a weakness amongst adcs? They are all squishy.

Stats from this patch is to the contrary. He doesn't out damage other adcs well. Maybe in lane certainly. but once mid game hits where he is supposed to be strong he actually falter quite a bit even though thats when he is supposed to spike. If you go look at the stats for this patch he has a high win rate before 25 minutes. After 25 minutes he falls off a cliff. Harder than any other adc. His win rate drops to 14th out of 15. His weakness is his scaling he does not scale well at all.

He has 50 attack range less than most ADCs, so he's vulnerable to AA trades. He scales pretty poorly, partly due to his short range. And he has not one lick of CC in his kit. If he can use his E to dash around and dodge stuff he'll be very strong. But if you lock him down with 1 ability and your team follows up, he has no chance.
