Is he the dueling adc? cuz he shits on everyone 1v1 except vayne is he the sieging adc? cuz his ult is the best sieging/defending tool in the game is he the safe pick? cuz hes the safest adc is he the single target damage machine? cuz again aside form vayne he does the most single target damage

ideally, at least in my opinion, every champ should have specific strengths and weaknesses. Lucian does not and never has EXCEPT last patch when his ult was bugged and didnt insantly kill every minion on the screen.

I'll take the bait, because i play Lucian a lot.

He has average siege, the culling is his ultimate and just because it can clear waves and poke under tower doesn't mean he is a beast at sieging.

He is a good duelist, yet Tristana, Graves, Corki and in some cases Varus can kill him 1v1, bear in mind that when ADCs duel there is a lot of luck involved, how good they are at dueling can be determined a lot more by the items they use rather than their kits.

Safest pick? in terms of safety in skirmishes not by a long shot. Safety in terms of how well his kit allows him to recover from mistakes then yes, he's pretty safe in that regard.

Single target damage? MANY other carries have more single target damage than he does.

Lucian does lack range in both his abilities and his AAs so there's a weakness.

Lucian is fine at the moment, he seems balanced currently.

Remember, they made sure to nerf his ultimate's cooldown so that he can't throw it out every time it is up. If you're having trouble sieging against him, just remember that it'd be worse if you were against Anivia. As soon as the next wave comes he is forced to be in 500 range of that wave again. Also I think you're trying to define Ezreal

You are kidding right? Lucian isn't a jack of all trades master of all ADC. His range sucks his dueling is just ok and I wouldn't call him safe he's challenging to use. He excels at mobility and heavy burst damage.
