Logic doesnt apply to Lucian

I've always been told Lucian is a strong early game champion that falls off the longer the game goes. Well here I have 2 examples, first one in which I was 7/1 with Kaisa and Lucian was 1/3 and another one from the late game where Lucian is supposed to fall off with his stupid bork, black cleaver build.

In the first example, had Evelynn not been there, I would've died with a 7/1 adc to a 1/3 adc and in the second one, he basically auto'd me twice + Q for a full life burst in 2 sec.

I've always known bork as an on hit item for adcs that rely on autos and build a lot of attack speed, but why does it work on a champ that is focused on burst damage, it makes no sense. Also Lucian with bork, black cleaver, tabis and phantom dancer is the tankiest goddamned adc in the game, why is an adc allowed to tank so hard, he has low range, yes, but there are other adcs with low range that are not even close as tanky as Lucian is and most of them need to land consistent autos to deal damage, not a fucking Q double auto=kill.

Lucian was strong before with this build and Riot eventually nerfed him, now they buffed him again to repeat the mistake they had already made some time ago, wtf.

Tip: show the items on the clip so we can have the real information.

  1. Lucian profits from this because he has a passive that makes a normal auto attack into TWO after he casted a spell. A good Lucian hits you with 4 double AAs in one rotation and has a rather small window where he has to wait for cooldowns. That gives him awesome synergy with Botrk AND Black Cleaver's Armor shred.

Also, your worst mistake in the first clip was the fact that you fought in a minion wave and almost all your Q hits went on minions. This is a HUGE damage loss and would have helped killing him without help. You Never 1v1 in such a wave with Kai'Sa, you cannot hit W, you cannot efficiently hit Q and you won't "out-autoattack" a lucian.

In the second clip you were too greedy on Talon and got caught by a (probably full build) Lucian with red buff and a full rotation+cleaver+PtA. You did nothing but run away. Your Eve did nothing. What did you expect to happen?
