Is bot lane Lucian going to receive any sort of buff or change to make him viable?

I hope so, I miss bot lane bullies.

Bot lane aggression is too focused on poke and push. Let's bring back Lucian and Corki bot for some nice fights, I'd even be ok with making Graves an ADC again. There used to be poke ADCs, auto attacking scalers, and early-mid game fighters. That third class got removed by taking Graves, Corki, and Luc out of bot lane.

Umm seeing luc and corki can pretty much poke and harass better then most adcs I have 0 clue what your talking about

Lucian's Q and Corki's Q and R have been nerfed enough in damage and range that they are not something I would consider strong poke.

Ashe, Varus, MF, Jhin, Caitlyn, and Kalista all have better/more reliable poke in lane. Corki's poke is pretty non-impact until he gets 2 levels in his R.

Right now you basically have 3 classes of ADC: Scaling crit monsters like Tristana and Vayne, then you've got the poke n push bullies like MF, Cait, Ezreal and finally the utility casters like Ashe and Varus.

What I'm miss from the game: straight up 2v2 kill pressure pre-6 from things like Lucian, Graves, Corki. I miss the days where you would pair up one of those 3 with Leona, Naut, Blitz, Thresh and just all in every time you landed an engage. Right now you pretty much don't all in unless you already been poking them or made several favorable trades already.

BRING BACK THE KILL LANE IN BOT - if top and mid get kill lanes, bot should too!

Umm Ashe poke is easily blocked varus cost to Mana and has a high cd mf sure can easily poke ez once again is like Ashe can be blocked soon what your saying is irrelevant plus with graves getting the slow buff on his smoke is huge. Corki can poke better then those adcs with anything really , thunderlords aiery or meteor luc can q you and aa twice and dash back I'm really not sure what your complaint is

My complaint is that there isn't enough trading in lane. I want to go back to the days where somehting like Leona or Naut paired with a Graves or Luc can all in for a kill at lvl 3.

All in bot lane duo's don't exist anymore. Put them back in.

Wtf are you talking about? He gets outscaled out damaged by every adc. His lane phase isn't even strong anymore especially with this overheal relic meta. His win rate is also the worst in the role but you somehow think he is alright? are you that blind?

I sure hope so. Lucian main but forced to play Twitch last season after Lucian was nerfed; had no fun at all despite a favorable winrate. Mages were in such a bad spot that Corki and Lucian started to crowd out LCS mid-lane picks. Even though Lucian had a mid 40% winrate (~45ish if I remember correctly) in solo queue, Riot still nerfed him because of LCS.

Now we're in a situation where any buff to the champ will be measured with mid and top lane LCS implications in mind. Couple that with the fact that he admittedly is a "generalist" by design and you get a trash-tier pick for a majority of this season, unfortunately.

It's not Nerf it's the build.......there is a reason you rushed triforce on him and hell runaans used to be a must on him .....luc didn't change it's the build that did

If Lucian gets buffs, he will be more viable in both bot and mid. Then mid laners will cry "but muh mages" even though 8/10 of the best mid laners would still be mages, with lucian sitting at only a 48% WR mid again.

I'd love to see him get buffed though, it is miserable trying to play him right now.

Again luc fine change the build shocker . Triforce
