How to fix lucian, riot WTF edition
Make his second passive shot do full auto damage + 200% of his ad.
Reduce his q mana cost to 10/8/6/4/2 and its cooldown to 2/1.5/1/0.5/0, with an additional 90% ad, ap, max health, and max magic resist scaling, but not armor, that would be broken.
Next, make w do 20% hp true damage and give it a static cooldown of 2.
Lucian's e should not only cost no mana, but actually give him mana back and heal him by 43%/53%/63%/73%/83% per rank, and have a cooldown of 0.005/0.004/0.003/0.002/0.001 with a 25% max ferocity scaling.
Finally, each ult bullet should apply a 3 hit passive where if an enemy, minion, monster, turret, ally, ward, nexus, air, or butterfly is hit by 3 bullets, they take 100% true damage, and lucian gets a stack of raging memes. If lucian gets 1 stack of raging memes, the game ends and the other 9 players are immediately banned, reported, deported, aborted, and recorded.
If all of these changes go into live, it is my strong belief that lucian will hit a 100% ban rate and you will literally never see him again, thus fixing the problem of having to do this thing called "balancing".
Note: I put this in memes and games, and riot removed it and told me to put it in gameplay, even though this is a completely satirical post. So if any of you are here to see a legitimate discussion about lucian, blam rito gems.
