So...does Lucian need a rework or something?

He seems to have no real period of being good or ok. Whenever there is a strong item for ADCs (or an odd but strong option for them) Lucian seems to be coming out on top with it. Happened with BC, is happening with Bork, and may have happened with lethality (I can't remember).

I find it kind of funny because I believe Meddler at one point said it was odd that Lucian never built ER since it's supposed to be the caster adc item and should offer so much of what he wants. I can't even remember the last time I've seen crit Lucian. Maybe when I played him sometime back in season 6? Idk.

Anyone else feel like he could use some kind of rework to allow him to exist between overbearing and garbage?

He needs just a mana cost increase on his E (and maybe W). It makes no sense that it not only starts so low but actually decreases and goes to zero as he ranks it up. At the absolute least, it should be 40/50/60/70/80.

ER doesn't ever get built on casters because casters don't want crit

Honestly after laning phase the item is pointless. Mana isn't they big of an issue mid game for most damage champions.

His issue is that his kit design just lets him overbearingly abuse on-hit effects when he, they, or both are strong — Black Cleaver and Blade of the Ruined King, as you mentioned, immediately come to mind. So long as there's something for his passive double-shot to cheese for aggressive purposes, he doesn't give a shit about things like Essence Reaver. He can very effectively manage his mana pool without it right now.
