@Meddler Feelings on Lucian?
@Meddler: Ever since his Relentless Pursuit has been nerfed, I feel like Lucian's been incredibly underwhelming. Are you satisfied with where he is currently? Or are you looking into him amongst your balance changes for Worlds?
@Community: For those who don't play Lucian or aren't familiar with his kit, these are my opinions on him and many of my acquaintances.
Lucian has mediocre single target damage, meaning he would get stomped in any 2v2 vs Draven, while getting outscaled by hyper carries like Draven, Vayne and Tristana.
His dependence on his ult before a teamfight and weak multi-targeting means he's over-shadowed by the powerful AOE of Jinx, Sivir, Graves, Miss Fortune, etc.
Usually champions that bring literally zero crowd control are compensated very nicely, with immense damage (Katarina, Master Yi) or a dominating laning phase (Mordekaiser). Lucian, on the other hand, brings no crowd control like Ashe, Kalista, and Varus do, meaning he's near-useless when behind.
His low attack range means he lack the safety of champs like Caitlyn and Kog'Maw
His high(ish) cool-downs means he plays like a psuedo-caster marksman while not having the consistent potential for spellblade procs that Corki or Ezreal do.
I feel like Lucian needs one or more of the following to be well-balanced again: -Some sort of tank shredding on his ult, since it can be sponged somewhat easily -Lowered Cooldowns on his Q, W, and/or E for consistent Trinity Force procs -Application of on-hit effects to all targets via Q for better team fighting -Increased Attack Range -Casting speed of Q and W lowered -A fairly strong slow on his W -The Culling shots fired 1.5x as fast as they are currently, across 2 seconds rather than 3.
