The Lucian nerfs

FancyKiwi··1 votes·574 views

How do you feel about them? Just a reminder as to the nerfs. W - Ardent Blaze: No longer has an AD ratio in favor of larger move speed buff from 40/40/40/40/40 ⇒ 40/45/50/55/60 R - The Culling: Cooldown from 100/75/50 seconds ⇒ 110/100/90 seconds

I personally like them. You can no longer just spam his ult for wave clear. Kinda like what they did to Ziggs several patches ago. As for his W I feel like it will tone down his poke in lane while making the most mobile ADC faster.

His w isn't too hard to dodge so if anything the MS buff helps more as it's the consistent part of the skill?

I like the ult cooldown, I thought it was rather low before. Annoying how he can ult to waveclear then ult in the next teamfight. Compare 50 sec on his ult to what some other champions have, he could use a fairly good ultimate more than twice as frequently sometimes. 100-90-75 may not have been bad either though, I honestly expect it to get brought down to that eventually (unless the MS really helps him that much).

His W AP ratio should be increased so I can play AP Lucian for freelo

cooldown on his ult will make him a lot more manageable but I think they seriously messed up removing the AD ratio from his W

Currently there's no reason to rank up W past 1 until level 14. I would propose that rather than put all of his damage on Q, you spread it evenly between Q and W. Reduce his q ratios and buff his w ratios heavily to compensate. Lucian then has 2 abilities to land and has to extend himself for a longer period of time, rather than E + Lightslinger (crit, crit) + Q- DED

Putting damage on his W also means that Lucian has to choose between levelling up his w for damage or his E for cooldown/mobility/reduced mana cost in the midgame.

There wasn't any reason to rank up W past 1 until 14 anyways. Most Lucians I see max Q, then E.
