Ways to buff back Lucian

This is the list of things that Riot can buff on Lucian. Buff Only one of suggestion below, not all of them.

  • [1] Passive's second shots increased from 30%/40%/50% at level 6/11/16 to 40%/45%/50%.

  • [2] Attack Speed Scaling: Increased from 56.1% -> 60% or higher. This will help late game Lucian a ton because you don't have to buy item 3252 anymore instead you buy item 3277 . The 15 % cool down reduction will help Lucian's Q cool down from 5 seconds to 4 seconds which is quite huge in my opinion.

  • [3] Increase the W's animation casting speed. As we all know Lucian is strong at bursting people down with his combo, so by doing this will help Lucian finishes his combo so much faster.

  • [4] Increase Lucian's range and his Q's from 500 to 515 - 525. As we now all know, to safely trade with Lucian in lane, all you can do is Q through minions but you rarely are able to double shot(your passive) because you have to walk so close to them to do that which means that they can put down a lot of damage back to you -> which means that you lose the trade or at least come out even.

  • [5] Reduce Lucian's W mana cost from all ranks 60 -> 50. Since his E's mana cost has been increased from 0 all ranks -> 40/30/20/10/0, you can run of mana sometimes quite quickly if you frequently dash(E) forward to go aggressive and trade. I think it makes sense to to reduce the mana cost since this spell doesn't even do damage at any stage of the game anymore(no more AD scaling) and it only brings movement speed and to proc your passive.

i think lucian's W is pretty strong. its a shame there's only triforce to build ap and masteries. its also weird since if you build triforce you don't really need essence reaver. true they do work together but when you consider that most build lucian with neither its pretty laughable. http://www.probuilds.net/champions/Lucian

Its funny how Lucian went from really taking advantage of his passive and low CDR to now hardly bothering with CDR at all.

I agree, buff Malphite.

Revert his AA range to 550. I don't think he needs more buffs.

He is strong dont overbuff him or he gets nerfed yet again

I cannot say i agree with any.

The thing is the nerfs that were in place did hinder him greatly and inevitably make his practical cloneGraves (damage skill, cc skill, and dash skill) better than him. But that by no means makes him inferior, if you did not see any of the games that occurred with TSM(they were doing so well), Wildturtle wrecked with lucian, even with the nerfed one. He still can burst people, just not as easy.

Lucian is fine where he is, he is an up close adc that needs to really get up close to burst you down. which allows for great counterplay as his dash can't get him a free ride down and he is in 500 range to abuse if he oversteps his bounds.

Also.... the vid shows how great nerfed lucian can play, why are you saying to buff him if with the right skill you can still decimate

If they simply changed his w to add percent movement and small amount of attack speed the more you attack that'd be cool, such as him i w'd someone and then ult'd and i get all five-ish stacks of the w and keep moving faster and getting more bullets for my ult then ult-ing with ramped up w stacks. Also his q damage and passive are aweful. Maybe for his passive change it to 40/50/60 or 40/45/50% for early game boost. His e is perfectly fine nothing to say about it, i like it. His q is 120% BONUS attack damage. Meaning if I bought 3 top tier damage items (IE BT and MS ect.) I'd still only do about 240+20% = 288 (not including dragon buffs or other buffs in general (janna e shield ad buff)). His ult is fine and fun its just the cd is a litttttllllleee to long.

i think giving essence reaver a better build path would help lucian a lot. maybe give it 12% lifesteal too.

Now that they gutted his passive hardcore, and thus destroyed his trades and laning the least they can do is un-nerf his dash so he's not just a terrible version of Graves.

He's Twitch/Urgot/Gangplank tier right now.
