It's already confirmed he is getting Nerfs. Get over it - he is too strong.

I dont see how he is too strong its just he doesnt have any clear weakness or super strong strengths

Having no significant weakness, is in itself a strength.

He is basically AD mages that hits hard with autos too.

An AD casting champion that, as a by-product of building AD, does some pretty good dmg with their autos as well? What a tragedy we have encountered!

In all seriousness though I do agree he does need some nerfs, I just don't think this is the point to argue for how strong he is.

haha this was pretty funny in the cons section and I was expecting a serious post.

Another point I'd like to portray is that Lucian is a solid lane bully. It makes no sense that he has as strong and such good scaling consistently into mid and mid-late game. If you're a lane bully, at least balance it out with minor feast or famine by going "capitalize on your early game strength or be punished." With that said, there are other ADC's that scale harder but lack mobility or other areas where Lucian excels at which is also lane dominance. So an ADC with stronger late game scaling of equal skill should not be able to reach late game with Lucian abusing his lane strength... but it makes sense to give them good scaling for just last hitting in lane.

If the game was balanced around being a lane bully or late game fighter, caitlyn wouldnt have had to been reworked.

Lucian is one of my most played champs overall, and I agree he is very dominant currently.

A nerf wouldn't hurt. Though I wouldn't want my go-to adc to be gutted.

Well, rito's balance philosophy is that you either have to be OP or gutted...so he will probably be gutted.

But wait, I thought a tip for fighting Lucian was his Low-sustained damage looooool

TwinkiePro1 votes

Early game, yeah, but that means dodging his Q, which means he still has burst which is still too much lol
