When are we going to nerf Lucian?

I haven't seen Lucian in like 15 games.

I've personally banned him... every single game.

crit buff will be his nerf

I think they are trying to buff every other adc to match him actually.

The same day they overhaul damage and defense, which means never.

Lucian could be 1v5'ing every match and Riot would still doubt his power. It's a classic.

I think u should focus on ur gameplay first before asking for Nerf. HAHAHaaaa

When are WE going to do it? Never.

The true question you should be asking is when is RIOT going to balance the game. The answer is also never.

I can't wait until the board get to whine about the new Ezreal stuff, we are going to have fun.

1. Reduce the damage of the passive second auto attack to 50% damage at all levels instead of scaling to 60%, and make it only crit for 50% bonus damage instead of 75%.

2. Increase the delay on his Q to 0.5 - 0.25 seconds (based on level) from 0.4 - 0.25 seconds (based on level), and reduce the bonus AD scaling on it to 60 / 70 / 80 / 90 / 100% from 60 / 75 / 90 / 105 / 120%.

3. Increase the mana cost on his E to 50 / 40 / 30 / 20 / 10 from 40 / 30 / 20 / 10 / 0.

These are the main problems with him I could think of.

How is Lucian broken?

This meta is basically made for him, all his items are good or great, all his counters are dead, lategame is rare and focus lies on early/midgame where he excels greatly and to top things off he is one of the only good marksmen in a time where frontlines and heal/shield supports are largely absent while assassins, burst and dive champs are abundant.

All which he is good at dealing with because he is a early game specialist with self peel.

If this is justification for nerfing champs then a ton of champs from every lane, although only a few other marksmen, has to go as well.

Biggest reason Lucian dominates in pickrate is just because he is the best out of like....3-5 marksmen and he beats the other good ones because the only other contenders for early game dominance are cait and Draven who have dropped out.

Or...hear me out, nerf the proc damage of PTA, or make it so after getting all 3 stacks, you have to auto to gain the effects and gain the proc damage

I believe the main reasons they are not nerfing lucian are:

1. he is able to succeed right now only because tanks are trash, and his core item, black cleaver, is an anti-armor item.
2. he has a decent late game no matter what due to his insane mobility, but according to Riot logic(I agree to some degree), it is okay because he doesn't have cc of any kind (BoRK doesn't count)
3. His early game is somewhat punishable compared to draven or even mf back in the old DH meta, his level 6 power spike, however, isn't fit for an adc, but rather mid-laner (it is obvious that mid-laners have insane ultimates, but adc's ults are more like... meh... until late game)
4. He doesn't have any real, ideal support. Sure, he synasize well with braum, and the cc alister provides is also really good, but ultimately, he isn't like many other adcs that want some specific thing from their supp. For example, kalista is good with alister because she wants someone who can dive in with her ultimate and apply a ton of cc. Braum is good with ez because he provides a good tool for ez to land his r, and his passive also works with ez's q.

Tbh, I think the best way to nerf lucian is to increase his e cd late game by at least 1.5 seconds, right now it has practically no cd if you bought essense reaver, or always like 1 second cd if you have max cdr... Adcs aren't suppose to be self-reliant (kalista is a different story, her auto actually only do a portion of her ad if her oathsworn isn't near), and the kind of dash lucian has is for duelists (fiora, jax, or even master yi in some sense).

if they bring back the old BC making it melee only it would be nice

Buffs to tankiness will be the best nerf for him. Right now he benefits too much from being able to kill you in one burst trade, while Lucian sucks at extended trades.

Go jhin fleet and don’t int

Free win

I'm at the point where I dont think they will. If they do it will be when pro play comes around again. riot just doesn't really care to do much with the game unless it involves pro play.

NEVER

You can't in this day and age without being called a racist.

Ok jokes aside. He needs a nerf to his Base HP. Don't mind him have damage and mobility but I do feel that he might be a bit safe, but then again, I am not an ADC main.

Presumably they're going to wait until they've made the other 90% of marksmen become not laughing stocks before they consider nerfing the only relevant ones.

That's one of the things I love from being in low elo. I laugh at the ticklish auto attacks from lucian from mid to late game, for me he's never been an issue even when super overpowered. They never manage to close the game fast enough to win before his auto attacks start being laughable.

I get in higher elos he's a nightmare, I instead laugh at Lucian, Ashe, Sivir, Xayah, Corki and Ezreal attempts to win games. I feel like those champs are an instawin for the other team, unless there is any of those on both teams, so that's anyone's guess

He's one of the weakest adc in game overall.

Lucian doesn't need nerfs. He's not even the strongest ADC, it's just the FOTW Champ to complain about cause he's got a high pick rate. Until next patch when everyone is bitching about Vayne.
