Why has this been become okay? his early and mid game lets him burst enemy champions better than many AP champions. Even worse, he still scales better into late game then most of those said AP champions.
k wìx1 votesThis is one of the reasons why Lucian is pick/ban in high level ranked play, currently.
Nerfs are already slotted though, they are hitting his #1 item,

by 3% lifesteal XD
Hethalean1 votesThat's huge when you consider his passive. HIs full rotation procs it 7 times. That's roughly 21% less.
Silly Neeko1 votesThe lifesteal is a small problem, which this will help....... But personally i feel that if a second hit would have reduced effects...... Such as Lucian's passive and hurricane...... Then its passive will be effected just as much.
Instead of flat 8% current hp damage every shot, doubled, that 8% should be reduced to like 4% for the second shot for example. This would help out a lot.
Hethalean1 votesWell, I wasn't talking specifically about lifesteal. He mentioned lifesteal I guess, but 3% isn't right either. It's 2% less as of now which isn't awful. Evidently another CertainlyT champion is hadr to balance. who knew :P

They are only nerfing the lifesteal...
3% lifesteal also doesn't just affect him, it also applies to all other champion. increasing his Q cost does not mean he not longer doesn't burst more than AP champions who are designed to burst through high cooldowns
oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 voteswell if people would build him with 
it would nullify the mana cost on Q give him cdr and on hit proc for passive with sheen passive and he would have more movement speed, mana, cdr, attack speed and hp
Hethalean1 votesWell they've gone through 3 iterations now of nerfs. I would wait to see what final form it takes.
k wìx1 votesYep, I don't think he'll drop out of the meta by any stretch, but i'll take what I can get.
Hethalean1 votesGood thing if you knew how to check the PBE, they're nerfing him and the best item for him (botrk)
oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votesOMG a champ is popular and people do well with him how will i ever beat him booo hooo
it seems if any champ does well at all 
51.47% win rate the entire community loses their shit... the min he is nerfed and he drops below 50.01% win rate every loses their shit and says he is too weak
what is acceptable plz someone tell me ...
oh BTW as you all cry over how the black man is keeping you down... the RAT MAN 
has had a win rate over 54% for at least 5 patches
Blåbæret1 votesLucian is overtuned, but I agree that Twitch needs nerfs. He has flown under the radar for some unexplainable reason.

It's not that he has a 51+ winrate
I play, Anivia has 55% everywhere but Silver and Bronze but I don't complain about her. My complaint is that Lucian can do more burst despite being a sustain damage dealer. He can also out scale the champion he out bursts..
Like if you are a champion like 
like lucian can actually out burst most of these champions early and mid game. By design, AP champions should be doing more damage and burst especially if they have high cooldown. ADC's should be doing more sustain damage. Lucian is able to do both better than most of the AP mid laners.
Granted, i'm not saying he needs a nerf. Just needs to be adjusted
oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votesok so no matter what champ it may be #1 at what ever role someone somewhere will cry foul . they will say that champ is too strong blah blah blah . there are a few facts about league people need to realize and accept:
#1 there will always be a champ #1 #2 there will always be a community that bitches and whines over said champ #3 rito will fuk any abilities to balance the game cuz there too many variables to have a perfectly balanced game
if we want "balance " and "fairness" and "counter play" then rito needs to do away with some of the variables therefore making the balance equation easier... for starters get rid of runes and masteries all together and balance the game around champs stats (base and per lvl ) and items.
AcidTheWarlock1 votesMid lane Lucian is the future.
So is mid lane Jhin. [zombie-nunu-bummed]
