"We're nerfing Lucian because we want to encourage him to engage at shorter ranges"

"Just kidding, we're nerfing the damage you do up close, too."

Literally no reason to pick him over Ezreal if the nerfs go through. It's obvious that these nerfs aren't aimed at balancing him, but at completely removing him from the competitive scene where he has been rather popular.

Not even remotely close to true. Lucian is far more mobile than Ez, simply deals more damage, and has way better waveclear. Nerfs don't really change any of that, they just make him less of a braindead pick.

I just disagree with OP, I think even with nerfs he'll be a fairly popular pick, more so than Ezreal. Right now he's waaaay more popular, for a while now, hence the nerfs.

He's the number one pick for an adc, he completely eclipses every other option and deserves this nerf.

I doubt that is the case. He is a "flashy" champion. It is best for competitive if flashy is also strong. Probably just because he is pretty good right now.

True.

''It's obvious that these nerfs aren't aimed at balancing him, but at completely removing him from the competitive scene where he as been rather popular.''

Nice determination.

Just ignore the typo, please.

He'll still be a top pick though.
