Suggested Lucian change! ((Riot it's worth a look))
So we all know Lucian is receiving massive indirect nerfs, as is confirmed armor pen will no longer work on him, and fervor will be nerfed; resulting in a massive indirect nerf to Lucian. To help Lucian out I propose a change that would not only make a very skilled Lucian feel better about using all of his kit, but also not giving him too much power at any point. Specific numbers subject to change.
So here it is: W: Ardent Blaze:
Active: Lucian fires a shot that explodes in a cross pattern upon hitting an enemy or reaching the end of its path, dealing magic damage, marking enemies hit for 6 seconds and granting Sight icon sight of them for the duration.
Magic Damage: 60 / 100 / 140 / 180 / 220 (+ 90% AP)
Lucian gains bonus movement speed for 1 second if he or allied champions damage a marked target with basic attacks or abilities.
Bonus Movement Speed: 60 / 65 / 70 / 75 / 80
**Changed to: W: Ardent Blaze:
Active: Lucian fires a shot that explodes in a cross pattern upon hitting an enemy or reaching the end of its path, dealing magic damage, marking enemies hit for 5 seconds and granting Sight icon sight of them for the duration. Lucian's basic attacks also gain bonus armor penetration on marked enemies.
Armor Penetration: 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 (+ 5% of Bonus AD)
Magic Damage: 50 / 90 / 120 / 160 / 220 (+ 90% AP)
Lucian gains bonus movement speed for 1 second if he or allied champions damage a marked target with basic attacks or abilities.
Bonus Movement Speed: 60 / 65 / 70 / 75 / 80

Personally I view these changes as a way to help Lucian out and make armor pen unique to his kit as well as making his W feel more impactful whilst not making him over bearing.
TL:DR Lucians W allows his aa's to gain armor pen, magic dmg down, mark lasts 1 second shorter. W feels more impactful helps the nerfed Lucian without making him over bearing.
