@Meddler @Riot Is Lucian going to be looked at before worlds? A few ideas to help solidify his niche

Currently, Lucian is the jack of all trades but master of none. He doesn't really have a defined niche. He's on the outside looking in from a viability standpoint. I think he needs a couple of small buffs in order for him to compete with the hyper carries and become a viable pick once again. These buffs are aimed to strengthen Lucian's identity as the "AD caster, kite ADC". I'm not saying use all of these buffs, but one or two of these ideas will really help solidify his niche.

1. Reduce Relentless Pursuit's cooldown from 18/17/16/15/14 to 16/15/14/13/12. This will help Lucian be a little more mobile and allow him to be more nimble and kite a little more effectively.
2. Reduce Ardent Blaze's cooldown from 14/13/12/11/10 to 12/11/10/9/8. Movespeed boost changed from 40/45/50/55/60 to 50 MS across the board. Remove the .9 AP ratio on it (no reason for it at all, seeing as he's an ADC) Reduce the base damage from 60/100/140/180/220 to 60/90/120/150/180 This change gives Lucian the ability to kite effectively, while being able to unlock his passive more often, in turn this will allow him to dash more often and kite.
3. Change Lightslinger passive to a flat 40%, instead of 30/40/50% scaling.
4. Increase Lucian's AA range to 525. Vayne has 550 range. Let that sink in.
5. Revert an earlier nerf to Ardent Blaze's AD ratio. Increase it from 0 ---> .2 bonus AD
6. Allow for Relentless Pursuit to refresh cooldown when The Culling kills an enemy champion.
7. Revert the change on Relentless Pursuit to allow for it to cleanse slows again.

I know that all of these changes combined would make him completely broken, but I do think a few of these buffs would put him in a stage where he's viable and strong. Currently, most other ADC's unlock their mid game power spike earlier than Lucian and scale better than Lucian into the late game. If you have any ideas or willing to discuss the ADC role, please post, I love ADC's and I love Lucian and I'm sick and tired of every game. :)
