Lucian deserves a better skill than ardent blaze

W for anyone else, I really find it underwhelming compared to other marksman champions. For a badass who purifies creepy crawlies it really does lack any sort of impact.

I would like to present a comparison. Take Jhin, he has a load of love in his whole kit that feels impactful no matter how you look at it. Q that is targeted cast and hit 4 time in teamfight, W that roots if team/you dmg, E that slow/traps and a huge ultimate. Now he's supposed to be classified as an assasin subtype of marksmen whereas he relies on spells more than I suppose consistent autos, but he just seems much cooler feel to it.

Lucian from what I understand is auto reliant like ashe, which is why they probably don't kit them out unnecessarily of a on-hit marksmen, but ashe fills the archetype of frost archer quite well... A W that crits, Q that gives attk speed. and a global stun.

Is all of lucians skill power budget all in ultimate? IT's badass ngl, its like a moving miss fortune bullet time, but I just wanted to compare how weak and inefficient lucian W is EVEN later in the game where seconds matter, nobody is going to use it. They will just auto dash auto, they dont need the movespeed buff thanks.

Please take the creative geniuses behind senna and redesign his W thanks.

PS. I wanted to think of ideas what kind of cool spell it could potentially be, please let me know! Do you think it could be a form of CC/AP that would be fun like in urf. For example maybe if his autos/Q ability grants stacks of purification and his W is sort of like a small form of burst in the form of AP at a hp percentage?

Strongest early game ADC that is playable in 3 lanes. Resulting in him being a permaban in competitive play. If you aren't successful with this champion I don't know what will help you. Maybe try Ekko, he's pretty broken too.

I dont mean buff of any sort. That wasnt the point of my post at all. I was trying to get across that maybe his W could have some sort of impact even if they have to shuffle some power around it just doesnt feel FUN to use. That's why I use Jhin as an example, HIS Skills have impact as does Ashe/kogmaw as on-hit marksmen. The spells feel satisfying and fun to use. their AP builds are just as fun His ardent blaze DOES not and for clarity's sake has no sort of purifying affects other than it does 1 tick of damage and you get a mark that makes u move faster. Nothing like his lore that absolves enemies to that effect in a creative sense

NGL I just wanted this out of my head, so I apoligize if anyone doesn't like my opinions

The whole point of W is to make a useless ability so he can cycle to his passive again since lucian having 3 abilities would be broken, and dont worry about these downvotes because im pretty sure theres a bot going around.
