Lucian is the worst ADC right now

Lucian has been Sejuani'd. Being Sejuani'd refers to when a champ is OP and is nerfed due to a specific item combination that works too well with their kit. As a result of this combo being balanced on other champs, the specific champ is nerfed instead of the items, which made Lucian receive 2 sets of nerfs that made him kinda crappy but still viable, at around a 48% winrate for a couple patches. Then, Vayne received buffs, and Ghostblade went into the trashcan, forcing Lucian to revert back to the crit build. However, unlike Jhin, who isn't that bad with Crit Build, Lucian's crit build makes him build a scaling build on a champion that doesn't scale; it makes a lane bully lose every single lane to every ADC except URGOT. This is going to be made even worse with the fact that Kalista is going to receive buffs soon and there are no other changed planned for ADC, which will leave him in this terrible state of uselessness. On top of that his play rate is still super high which means that there are a ton of players running around playing an awful champ. Imagine if Yasuo had a 44% winrate and you had him 1/6 of your games. Feelsbad.

Proposed changes:

Revert Lucian Q nerfs, including both his range nerf and his damage nerf.

Proof that Lucian is worse than Kalista and every other ADC (except urgod): http://champion.gg/champion/Lucian/ADC

TLDR; Lucian got nerfed then his items got nerfed now he has 44% winrate plz buff.

I feel the same way. Lucian was struck down by the god's at Riot lite.

It seems like you guys are talking about teemo more than lucian...

?????? Urgot is a hyper lane bully. A lot of adc's would lose lane horribly to him. He just doesn't scale like a regular adc does.

You know Riot does this thing where they nerf an op champ into unplayable then resurrect them after 6-8 months. If you didn't notice...Nidalee and Azir also have been here and Teemo is now close to being roughly this hard to win with since the vision/trap disable changes </3.

He only needs his dmg brought back not the extra range, that's not what he's about anyways. With the range the way it is he can use his passive the way it's meant to be played anyways. If they really need to buff him still after that I would simply just buff his passive a bit or allow some of his ult bullet to be allowed to crit while lowering the amount he gets to shoots.

Oh please, he's had a significantly longer time to be oppressive than sejuani.

lies varus is far weaker. No one is stopping you from building crit or runaans with triforce

I dont know about this dang meme, but Sejuani was constantly strong even after the nerfs since her ult is what it is. I know her itemazation was balanced around cinderhulk of that time, but I enjoyed runeglaive after that with good results and I believe every sejuani main who wasnt fotm liked the variable selection.

Lucian on the other hand...lost all his items. Has no crit modifier or attackspeed or even synergy with keystone. Geez.
