Dude literally every time this champion becomes meta he's generally toxic af. Theres typically only like 1 or 2 counter picks to him in lane. his mobility means that he can run away really easily if he's behind but chase super hard and kill you if he's ahead. picking a melee into him that isn't some hyper mobile champ like Camille or Fiora is basically asking for a living nightmare of a game if he gets ahead. Usually whenever they do stop him from being the best AD in the game, they have to hardcore just nerf the fuck out of him to the point of being nearly unplayable. Most of the time he typically is only countered by equally unintuitive gameplay like a fed annie.

Im pretty sure its his passive. The second one shouldnt apply on hits. maybe with that nerf he wont be so erratic when an item he likes becomes good.

I don't understand what makes him "toxic".

His E is his "trump card" and people stupidly use it for damage in low elo but not saving dash (especially early) gets hard punished.

Also he NEEDS to dominate lane, and has very clear spikes you can avoid. Like without his range he really isn't a lane bully. You can often just sustain his Q poke once you get vamp sceptre.

He's strongish in SoloQ (50-51% win rate) but still garbage in competitive for good reason.

Lucian is pretty balanced, he just gets indirect buffs or nerfs. Although he does alot of damage and has high mobility, he has short range and lacks CC.

Honestly his pattern of being strong and weak should tell Riot this dude needs a rework. He's either always way too powerful, or way too weak. No middle ground.

I don't get the laser timing change. I literally can't dodge it anymore. It shoots way too goddamn fast. 80+ ping SOS

Granted I don't play dash champions much. But rito pls. My ping makes Lucian impossible
