I honestly don't understand, why does an ability cost less mana the higher rank it gets? to the point where it ccost 0 mana?
this is not a lucian QQ thread, Im just very curious of the intention of this design.
EndlessSorcerer1 votesI would assume that it is to gate usage of the ability early-game (i.e. laning phase) without restricting it late-game.
Dominick Destine1 votesIt was the benefit given (mostly) in exchange for removing its "Slow break" benefit.
It used to dispel slows, Evelynn style.
EcchiOtakuTM1 votesAh remember the days of it literally having no CD with max cdr before xD.
Shenjougahara1 votesIt comes from a time before ER when Lucian could actually run out of mana. The skill itself is only a dash and only deals damage indirectly by activating his passive, so by having it scale down to 0, he could have a mana pool in extended teamfights without having to sacrifice his mobility. It's pretty pointless now, but increasing the cost doesn't really do anything either, since you should have decent crit chance by the time you hit 13 anyways.
The Deckowner1 votesdoesn't old ER also give u mana?
Shenjougahara1 votesIt did, but it had a lot less CDR and no crit chance, so it wasn't great for marksman who wanted crits.
