Suggestion for Lucian's ult buff
So far, everyone knows his ult is nothing but a drive-by, where a full channel will mostly can't even kill a Scuttle Crab, less do anything during a teamfight with its miniscule damage since majority of it will be blocked by a jackass enemy tank. So here's a buff I suggest. Why not imply Armor Penetration to his ult? Well not instantly, it's a bit complex, but I figure it would work something like this:
#R- The Culling
New Active: For each successful shots on the same enemy in a row, his ult will also deal a total of 10%/20%/30% Armor Penetration. Lucian will successfully reached the maximum Armor Penetration damage after hitting the same enemy 5 times.
At Level 6, his first shot will deal 2% Armor Penetration, adding up to 10% after successfully hitting the same enemy 5 times.
At Level 11, his first shot will deal 4% Armor Penetration, adding up to 20% after successfully hitting the same enemy 5 times.
At Level 16, his first shot will deal 6% Armor Penetration, adding up to 30% after successfully hitting the same enemy 5 times.
During ult, when he switches targets, the total Armor Penetration dealt to the previous target will be lost until he has to be hit another 5 times again. New targets will also have to overcome the above conditions to gain maximum Armor Penetration damages.
Minions & monsters will not be affected by Armor Penetration.
This is all what comes into my mind. I'm planning to practice more on Lucian after his Project skin gets the discount, since it's awesome as fk.
Did I solved Lucian's problems after his repeated long nerfs? Can this kit be somewhat useful in most teamfights? Too much damage if built with Black Cleaver? If it's overpowered, what else you think he needs balancing?
