Lucian Buffs?

Violent Hunter··7 votes·1,211 views

I'm just asking out of curiosity. Not actually expecting any answer but since the pbe has buff to champions that are already strong imo (Jinx Ezreal Brand) Is it out of the question that you actually give Lucian a buff of some kind? Like come on ezreal has a higher win rate and is just as strong as Lucian and he is getting a buff so you can give him one too can't ya? I'd like to see his ult being able to crit (saw that show up as a test on the pbe one time and I think if sivir can crit with her w and mf can crit with her ult you can give him crit on his.) But that is just me wanting lucian to be op and i know that one won't happen. But a buff to W would be nice like a ad ratio or an increase on its ap ratio or increase to its base damage by like 10 at all ranks. Mainly that one I suggest because you nerfed his w and gave nothing back for it. His q getting nerfed was fine.

TL:DR Can we expect any Lucian Buffs to get tested on the pbe for 6.17? I think a W buff like a addition of a ad ratio be it bonus or otherwise.

I think they need to revert the Q length and actually nerf lucians ability to do a whole combo in 1 second

I disagree with the 1 second thing because at the end of the day he is a burst style adc. LB Graves and others are alike that. Reason i don't mention the range is because while I'd like for them to give us at least 100 units back its not the end of the world. Sort of makes him even more high skill cap than he was already which i am fine with.

I mean just as a champion that burst and unleashes their full combo in a a matter of seconds

Ok, serious talk now.Lucian is doing solid atm.He has ok winrate with huge playrate.He was on top for a long time, its time for other ADCs to shine.

^ I would actually be happy if they stop lucian from doing his endless fast wumbo combo to revert that nerf. as it currently stands that allows him not to build crit but still do to much damage with autos because he is just gonna get 2 autos on you and stack black cleaver.

Again that is not a way to nerf him ebcause that is trying to get rid of his play style as a all in burst caster adc. Also its not one second even with the animation cancel on the autos. Every adc has their own playstyle. Caitlyn with long range poke and better seiging than others, Draven with extreme burst with high damage but highh skill cap. Jinx can poke but is more or less a dps all in adc, Kog is a bullet hose who actually does more autos in 1 sec than lucian can in just e - q combo. Jhin long range sniper with cc. Ashe slow bot. THe list is on and on. complaining about his playstyle getitng you no where when that is his identity.

Fuck Lucian. Nobody likes playing against this cancer

What long time 2 or patches? come on now. Every time he has a decent couple of patches nerf. Meanwhile you get stuff like Ashe and Jhin have had a full 5 patches worth of dominance but Lucian can't get any buff and have to be in a weaker state. don't give me that

Lucian can be strong pick after adc nerfs.

He was op for a long time, let him be shit for a while, I am sure 90% of the people dont like seeing lucian on other side of the lane, caster adc should be done like ezreal with skillshots, not like lucian at all...

The Lucian ult crit thing was supposed to be a nerf when the armor pen build took off, but they didn't gut the base dmg enough. They could have rly gutted the base dmg then give the ult higher crit dmg % on rank ups to make that work but w/e. Lucian ult already does a lot of dmg to squishies tbh, it would be crazy if it crit at these values. Thing would straight shred them.

The reason they give MF ult crit was so that if she built crit her signature ability isn't left behind. Lucian isn't as reliant on his ultimate and is still effective for him. It's not meant to be as big for him as other champ's ultimates because Lucian is about sliding around double slinging assassin level burst rotations late game.

He isn't weak in high level play and that what this patch is about honestly, trying to set up worlds for "exciting new picks" by buffing everything on the fringe and nerfing the super obvious ops. Surprised they buffed Ezreal though, because surely he'd would have gotten played w/o it.

They probably liked that culling always did steady dmg too. If it crit it'd become spiky and weird. Unless they made crit chance factor into a dmg boost, which isn't necessary anymore to change that since I think the armor pen dominance is phasing out soon.

Very sound points. I agree with you.
