Lucian's Ult REALLY needs a buff

I've been playing a lot of Lucian and he's officially become one of my favorite champs. I've played him about 30 games recently and I've noticed one thing that can really be considered bad on him. His E mobility is in a pretty good place especially if you actually utilize his W. His Q hasn't really changed at all and overall i think everything in his kit is good except his ult. I'm not sure what part of it can really needs buff, but i'm fairly sure that anyone can see its not exactly in a good place. Unless its a 1v1 the damage is totally lackluster and i'm also fairly sure that unless you stand directly in front of him while he's ulting, he's barely gonna get a 20% of his ult damage off on you. If you DO stand in front of him while ulting then you almost deserve to die. In teamfights almost 99% of the time the tanky champ will absorb almost all of your ult damage essentially making it useless. even late game with a Last Whisper. Its not that you CAN'T get kills with it its just difficult. I won't go as far as to say its VERY hard since I have gotten kills with his ult, its just that in general even with the MS from his W applied its not really enough to do anything to the enemy team. I tried using it simply for kill security or for kiting which seemed the best option, but even then its just not reliable.

I've thought about it for a bit and i decided that its not the damage that needs buffs, its his ability to actually land it with his Ult. Right now its only reliable use is for waveclear, but its cooldown is WAY too long for an ability that's so unreliable in both teamfights and skirmishes. By no means am I saying its useless. But the fact of the matter is, in my experience anyway, Lucian's ult can't really be used for it's damage in teamfights since it can be tanked easily and even though you might chunk the tank you haven't really hurt anyone on their team. Just look at the average ADC's ultimate and almost all of them can be considered so much more useful the culling. I KNOW that different kits and different champs means that you can't exactly compare most abilities, but I do believe I'm correct in saying that mechanically ADC's are the most similar in their goals and what they do in almost all situations.

So, I tried to justify Lucian's ult not being able to penetrate the enemy teams backline by saying that he's one of the more mobile carry's and his Q, but obviously that just didn't seem a very viable excuse no matter which way you looked at it, especially considering the other more popular ADC's like Tristana, Kalista, and even Jinx. I grouped all ADC's with some form of mobility and looked at their playstyles and Ults. Of all ADC's I figured that Ezreal is the most similar to Lucian in playstyle, which is that of a mobile duelist ADC with kite potential. And I can easily say that his Ult is a lot better than Luc's right now, and I'm fairly certain that most people would agree with me. Not only is it global and can clear waves it's not blocked by champions. At this point I can almost say that Ezreal is more viable than Lucian, except that Lucian still has his strong lane phase, so I can't say that with certainty. I honestly think that with the recent nerf to Luc's passive his dueling ability has been nerfed, especially in lane, and he needs some legit compensation in his teamfight ability, which SHOULD revolve around the combination of his W and Ultimate.

TL;DR Lucian's Ult is currently an unreliable ability in teamfights due to the fact that it doesn't pose a real threat and it will most likely just be meatwalled or Wind walled (fuck yasuo). Its not easy to land in skirmishes due to the excess of mobile champs currently and even if you do manage to land the entire thing the damage is just doesn't feel satisfactory. So I say that it needs buffs to its damage and the ability for it to hit backlines. Perhaps an interaction with his W since those two abilites are already closely linked

P.S. I will probably make a seperate thread about this later on, but I've noticed that occasionally Lucian's passive literally doesn't go through. The first time it happened to me was while I was clearing a wave and Q + AA after which I only saw one AA. Then it happened a second time after my E in a duel which almost caused me to die, which alarmed me quite a bit since its literally Luc's identity and core. So please Rito fix this bug. You already gutted his passive don't let it stay broken as well.
