Lucian : Give him Movement Speed on W cast, Allow his Passive to Stack
**Passive: Lightslinger ** After using an ability, Lucian's next basic attack within 3 seconds will shoot twice.
CHANGE: Using an ability grants Lucian a stack of Lightslinger (Max 3), Lucian's next basic attack(s) within 3 seconds will shoot twice.
**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 and marking enemies hit for 6 seconds. If Lucian damages a marked target with his basic attacks or abilities, he gains movement speed for 2 seconds. This does not consume the mark.
** CHANGE ** : Lucian gains movement speed for X seconds upon spell cast, If Lucian damages a marked target with his basic attacks or abilities this movement speed bonus is refreshed.
I feel like Lucian needs some changes to his kit to better deliver on his "gunslinging" fantasy. As a carry with no AS or AD steroids and 500 Range. I believe the above is enough compensation to not only flesh out Lucian's kit but to give him tools necessary to do his job effectively.
- Lucian is rewarded for casting his spells, and can decide to stack up Lightslinger for maximum burst or weave his AA's around his spells
- W: Ardent Blaze now offers a way for Lucian to get into range as well as kite more effectively
- Adds value to W : Ardent Blaze without increasing damage, makes spell more integral to kit
- Play pattern would support both "run and gun" or "poke and burst" both of which are thematic to a "gunslinger"
- The short duration of Lightslinger means Lucian could potentially waste stacks should his target move out of range (+1 Counterplay)
- How badass would it be to see Lucian gat someone with 3 Lightslinger procs?
Let me know what you think!
