"We wanted Lucian to be super mobile, super spell-slingy.."
Oh hey, that sounds exactly like another champion that's been in the game for ages, his name's Ezreal.
Except in a panic you guys nerfed the crap out of Ezreal, and then left him there while releasing two ADCs who turn everything that was "OP" about Ezreal up to 11 (Jinx = ultra burst damage, high poke, / Lucian = Super mobile, almost caster-like character). Hell, turn Ezreal's ultimate into a non-global that has actual damage in a teamfight because it doesn't drop off insanely hard off hitting a wolf camp and tada, you've got a weaker Lucian.
When are we Ezreal players going to see real buffs and real changes to this champion that was almost instantly forgot about after you nerfed him too hard?
Thank god, after over a year of being totally unable to get even an acknowledgement of his existence, we finally started hearing talk about how Riot is "unsatisfied" with his W (maybe because it's literally been stripped of almost everything, but w/e), yet all we hear about is that "unsatisfaction" and how you guys would "like to" make it more meaningful, yet it's apparently definitely not high on anyone's priority list, because that's all we ever hear.
When are we going to at least start seeing some test ideas on the PBE or something? Quit the "we'd like to" mentality, get out of the chairs, pull the champion out of the trash bin and start working on him, pretty please. We've waited long enough, and releasing those two ADCs who have EXACTLY what ya'll thought was sooooo overpowered on Ezreal is just salt in the wound.
When do we get to see some actual attention paid to this character besides reworking his lore? It's not like he was a design that didn't work and has to be remade from the ground up, he's just a champ who you hit way, way too hard and now just can't keep up.
I'm tired of having piss-poor damage compared to any other ADC. I'm tired of getting called a trollpick as a mage.
Seriously, give us some real progress, and some real changes, and some real hope. Buffing items that literally are accessible to every single other character in the game isn't a real buff to the champion. He's not the only character who can utilize a Trinity Force or a Muramana, guys. That's not enough to justify his state.
