I don't know about everyone else, but I am so tired of only going against Lucian as adc. i am not writing this because I got wrecked by him or anything... it just gets boring going against the same champion game after game for about 35 games in a row before someone happens to pick Ez, Cait, or Jhin. I just feel like riot should do something if only 1 Adc is getting playing in over 300,000 more games than the next highest adc.
Lucian almost single handedly strangles the bot lane meta. Immobile carries not named Jhin get destroyed by him in lane. He is safe from tanks and assassin's in the mid game thanks to mobility and a long range ult if he gets zoned. But surely he pays for it in late game damage? Well yeah he will deal less than Jinx or Cait when they can make use of their conditional strength but he is still a crit carry and does comparable if not superior damage than other crit champs at 6 items. He has everything and pays for none of it. Even his range doesn't hurt him much. Many jumps are about 600 range and many skills are 800+ range so in theory if lucian can be jumped on so can Jinx or MF but at least lucian can dash away. As it stands not picking lucian is to play sub optimally and picking immobile scaling champs is to actively handicap yourself. Some champs got far more from the adc update than others and some even got shafted.
Also I hate when people say "its cause he is fun." If lucian is at 35% play rate because he is so much fun than he should have been the most play champ since his release even when he was weak. People like him cause he is strong has agency in the game. He is " Its like how every said Riven was popular because she was fun then everyone jumped ship to fiora when she became strong, AND I LIKE RIVEN. Champs can have a large player base that supports them and keeps their play rate up. Jinx barely falls below 10% Riven has a lot of mains and lucian DOES has a large player base but it is not 1/3 of bot players.
sry but lucian is one of the most fun champs in the game
even when he was gutted...i still played him
hes the highest played champion in the game. for about 4 months straight now. quite ridiculous
I kinda agree with your point, I'm getting tired of having to kill Lucian and Jhin all the time. Then again I'm an assassin main. All ADCs kinda look the same to me, so even if some other ADC became flavor of the season, I probably won't feel it as much.
Lucian still had like a 25% pickrate during Season 5 when he was garbage. He won't be going away any time soon and the only way to lower his playrate would be to gut him.
Rip.
Lucian hasn't been garbage in a long time. Even when people thought he was bad he was still good. He does everything well as an ADC and people just enjoy his play style. He took vaynes spot after he came out. Really I think he's okay right now
I think i've seen like 3 lucians in the past month on the enemy team.......it's been all 
for me.
