Whats up with lucian dominating every game i see him in? So many Ezreals? Graves??

Allied or not, im a bit tired of having to deal with fed lucians so frequently. Is he just really strong right now? I noticed he had a ban rate below 1% and well over 50% pick rates and win rates in comparison to the other marksmen. I honestly might just start banning him just so i can get some variety, even if it is a fed vayne. I've seen alot of Ezreal as well, rushing iceborn gauntlet for some reason... same with Graves jungle. People keep in bronze keep saying its super strong right now, but i rarely see it work well and i dont even get why it is considered so good in pro play... why is this? why are these threeo so popular lately in my division, and why are their winrates so good? This is pure curiosity. I haven't seen jinx in ages in ranked. Actually, i've had one Jinx. The rest of the games were either Vayne,Graves, Lucian, or Ezreal. I think I've seen 1 corki since his rework. Is everyone just crap in comparison to them now or something?

Lot of ADC's are so strong, you will often see 2-3 "adcs" with 2 tanks.

Ez is a caster marksman and Iceborn slow means he can kite you or hunt you down if you try to run. It's sickening that it works with a ranged attack and gives him some armour. Graves has recently been nerfed but is still stupidly strong. Lucian is reliable and has good duel and burst potential making him a safe pick.

Jinx is my favourite but she needs a team comp. built to protect her with a lot of peel or the other team can kill her a lot more easily than they can an Ez, Lucian or Vayne. It's sad but the need for a lot of peel and almost no cooperation in normal games puts me off picking her for fear of being picked off before I can scale.

graves is pretty busted right now, everyone should know that. (bc of his absurd numbers) ezreal is just abusing the iceborn gauntlet since it's just so good rn lucian is good because he synergizes well with a lot of items and keystones, he's a lane bully, and because games are usually finished before late game comes lucian doesn't get to the point where he falls off

Nope. Lucian is very popular (but _not _over 50%, neither of those statements are true) recently, being on an upward trend likely having something to do with Thunderlord's easy proc on him, but if you take win-rates to mean anything, at the moment he is actually in the bottom half of ADCs.

[People in Bronze] keep saying its super strong right now, but i rarely see it work well and i dont even get why it is considered so good in pro play... why is this? why are these threeo so popular lately in my division, and why are their winrates so good? [sic]

I could answer that question, but it might sound a bit mean to the tier.

Honestly i'd appreciate it if you did anyways. Bronze is at the bottom for a reason.

A short and real answer is: lucian is dominating only bot lane, while the position of ad carry has the least impact on the game. So the bans are left for OP mid/top/jungler position.
