Is he going to get any other changes other than just the 5 damage buff to his Q?

No targeted date at the moment, but he is a topic we're discussing pretty regularly. We don't just want to outright buff him, and so things don't seem as easy as some numbers to help bump him up at the moment. Imo, he needs some kind of small reshaping to address power curve, positional, and item abuse issues.

I suggested this in another thread, but potentially could you guys remove some of his AD scaling and add crit damage scaling to his abilities.

I don't mean to make the abilities crit, but to make them scale WITH crit. (like Xayah E does right now). This would mainly apply to his Q and R I think, but could help buff bot lane lucian while making him weaker with builds like the bork build.

I'll take the opportunity of discussing marksmen, crits and their abilities and express my opinion that Miss Fortune's passive should actually be affected by critical strikes. I barely ever play her, but I'd love to if she actually felt better to play for me, and since I tend to like crit builds on pretty much every marksman, that'd surely be a good encouragement for me if she got some synergy with critical strikes. I'm not really one to talk about that, but from what I've heard, recently MF was pretty much all about building more into the lethality path and all. And I'm pretty sure that if you put some of that juicy crit (inter)action on her passive, her autos would be able to more than decent DPS without the need to stack armor pen instead of the more usual ADC item path.

Honestly, I was just extremely disappointed recently when I tried testing my full Critical Damage runes on MF and I sense the potential to embrace the way of the crits in her!

P.S. I still hope that sooner or later Riot will implement some other way of getting more Critical Damage other than Infinity Edge after the new runes roll onto the live servers...

I think making his passive start at 30% but scale with crit like Caitlyn's passive would buff him and steer away the on hit builds that make him impossible to balance, or just make his passive not stack on hit effects

And for someone who has 500 range his armor per level is among the lowest.

This is the +5AD/AP buffing Riot were talking about. Everyone got something like that and patch 7.22 will remain in history as "The Patch of Buffs". So the answer is probably no but if you want go ask Meddler in his next Quick Gamplay thoughts.

What he needs is crit scaling on something and for his E to always have a manacost.

You hit his early game if he goes for item 3071 or item 3153 , gut it if he goes for both. Then you let him scale reasonably well as a botlaner, not a midlaner.

They need to nerf Lucian out of solo lanes and make him a little better bottom. Whenever Lucian is meta he's oppressive as hell but even I know he's in a rough spot, especially because his primary intended role is probably going to get nerfed because of mid Lucian. As a jungler main, I know how bad it blows when your character turns out to be good in another lane and gets nerfed in the lane it was balanced in.
