About good ol' Lucian!

He was a riot when he came out, I loved the concept and the gameplay. Yeah, he was a little strong, but I think we've iron out most of his problems. But I think the good folks at Riot may have hit him a little too hard. Since the nerfs, I haven't really touched him. But with champion masteries now a thing, I decided to give him a try again. And I think he's fine. Except for his auto attack range. That's one thing that bugs me to no end. I'm fine with the nerfs to his Q, W, E, and R. But I feel hitting his AA range (and thus his Q range) sort of took things a tad too far for the guy.

So Meddler (or anyone else who works on champion balance), where do you think he stands right now?

I think he's OK numbers wise, he's just not meta.

Based on LCS play, the Meta ADC's seem to be either Utility ADC's (Ashe, Sivir) who complement the Tanks and the Tank meta. Or Hyper Carries (Jinx, Vayne) who just start melting anyone down after a drawn out match.

He's fine, he's just not good against tanks. His sustained damage is rather poor, and he doesn't have the innate tankiness that Graves has (one of the other burst ADCs).

He does really well against most adc and still wrecks significantly the lanning phase. Now late game was never his forte and his sustain damage lacks, after the initial brust if the target is not dead you better take some cover and try to kite.
