Lucian is in DIRE NEED of a Buff

SymbolicFear··5 votes·902 views

Lucian is one of the few bursty marksmen in the game, and was previously nerfed cause his damage was too high. Well, now there is the problem that he does NO damage at all. His ult is really only useful for finishing off an enemy that has about 200 health as it runs away, or to clear minions, other than that... useless. I noticed just how large of an issue it was in my most recent ranked game, where a Tristana, was doing WAYYYYYY more damage than me and my combos with just 3 Auto Attacks.

The issue there is, Lucian is supposed to be best at early game, while Tristana is late game carry. So WHY exactly does a late game carry do so much more damage than a champ with early advantage? Not only in lane is Lucian nearly worthless, but in team fights as well, since his ult, his main way of dealing aoe damage is pathetic, even with Last Whisper, and every champion played now normally has quite a bit of beef on them.

So Lucian has no damage, no extra health or armor to protect him, nothing. He can do NOTHING right now. Reworking ADC items won't help him at all cause his scaling is fine, its just his damage is TERRIBLE and when I play my Lucian to show off my awesome new Project skin, I get flamed, reported for assisting enemy team, or just get dodged on cause everyone knows how pathetic he is.

Just make it so Lucian can do enough damage to keep up. There is no reason for a champion to be nearly worthless like this.

Besides, just cause its the meta, isn't an excuse for a champion to not be able to do anything. Every champion should be an viable option, but Lucian isn't at this point.

He is viable, you're just bad.

Maybe I am just bad, I have been doing increasingly poorly as of late, but still, there is no reason for a champion as fun as Lucian to have the nickname as "Lose-ian" because he is just not a very viable champion at this time.

What are you building on Lucian that he does no damage?

SymbolicFear1 votes

I build Infinity Edge, Last Whisper, BotRK against tankier opponents, Statikk Shiv, Berserker's Greaves, Bloodthirster or I build Guardian Angel if I already bought BotRK.

Well hey, if you're not doing so great with the standard stuff, maybe go more ADCaster. In general though, unless you need the early spike, maybe go PD instead of Shiv. More speed, more crit. Also consider item 3142 for that little extra damage to squishies, also the active is pretty decent for Lucian, especially when you use it just before his ult.

But yeah, if you're considering a more CDR focused caster Lucian, you might try: item 3142 item 3508 item 1300 item 3031 item 3071 item 3035 /item 3072 Definitely not his best build, but sometimes playing a champion in a different way than you're used to can help you figure out where their weaknesses lie, so you can better play around them.

True, sadly, it is very difficult to learn the "In's and Out's" of a champion when you can't do your job as that Champion due to either being counter by Tristana and Vayne, or because the enemy team is too beefy for someone like Lucian to kill.

Although, I will try out your build as it looks as though it could be pretty good. Perhaps trade out Essence Reaver or Black Cleaver for Phantom Dancer, depending on the enemy team's make-up, so Lucian's combo can have a 70% chance to crit per shot.

hell quinn can do more dmg

I know, I went up against Quinn and won lane fairly easily, but when it got to mid game, she would instantly melt me for that point onwards, and she also has the ability to wreck tanks with BotRK much more effectively than Lucian.

I played him recently and he still is pretty strong. Not faceroll like in the "lucian" season but still pretty viable.
