He can still be strong but his early game bully status is nearly gone. In order to have any kill pressure you need to land like 90% of your Qs. I would really love if they changed his lightslinger passive to last at least 3 seconds. 6 seconds to 1.5s is so brutal. Late game he can still be a monster but it's pretty damn hard to go full carry lord with Lucian these days
Yea. I play a lot of Lucian, and its night and day how much easier it is to play the same style in lane with a Corki/Graves and dumpster people compared to plinking them with Lucian. He has no early game bullying anymore. Hes flashy, you can wreck ppl sometimes, but the other 2 I mentioned do his job 10x better, and scale just as well.
I have been going Bortk instead of BT lately and doing way better. I guess because it works so well with lightbringer and the slow helps with his small range and darting playstyle. I was going BT everytime for the lifesteal/shield, but I havent lost a game going Bortk, when it looks worse on paper.
