Still scales the same with AD etc but deals magic damage. The problem with him right now is that his ult basically does true damage through black cleaver and youmuus. Make his ult bullets do magic damage instead of physical so he can't shred through all of someone's armor instantly on his ult.

Magic damage shreds though 100% of a targets armor, as it is completely unaffected by armor :/
Also, magic damage > physical damage.
In bases, items, or itemizing for an even damage spread: magic damage has a lot less MR to contend with than physical damage has armor to contend with.
Bases, items, and itemization offer such better incentives for armor than MR that armor is pretty much always 30%+20 points higher than MR as well, giving a free BC+YGB in terms of penetrations throughout the entire course of a game rather than the post 2 major armor pen items phase of a game, which does not account for a large portion of game length.
The only downsides of dealing magic damage are added to magic-damage sources after the fact, such as cooldowns, mana-intensive sinks, an entire kit with no sustained damage and nothing but burst, or relying solely on ability power to scale throughout the game: a stat that has no use outside of that end, where any other type of scaling offers more useful bonuses that aren't married exclusively to casting abilities.
Making Lucian's ultimate deal magic damage would be an obnoxious and fairly nonsensical buff.

xxxMadLionxxx1 votesWelll, I main ap Lucian I would have a field day with this. If riot did this, AP lucian would became the new meta. Then he would be gutted because riot does not like Lucian being too popular.
MunchCrunchLunch1 votesmaking it do magic damage would be a stupid buff. until late game yeah his physical damage ult will be better but he will just cheese the life out of squishies early game 100-0 them with his ult. also it would be a buff to a regularly build lucian. with no bc or ghostblade. which he is strong anyway.
Dunkrius2g1 votesTOTAL NON-MINION DAMAGE: 400 / 875 / 1500 (+ 400 / 500 / 600% AD) (+ 200 / 250 / 300% AP) 」 SHOTS FIRED: 20 / 25 / 30
As of now this is how much his ult does.
Making it magic will be far more obnoxious than Darius having his old passive.
What Riot needs to do is nerf the hell out of his ult. Reduce Shots Fired by 5. SHOTS FIRED: 15 / 20 / 25
Reduce the scaling. (+ 300 / 400 / 500% AD)
LIVE: COOLDOWN: 110 / 100 / 90
NEW: COOLDOWN: 120 / 120 / 120
One or the other, some of these nerfs need to be applied.
