Lucian needs a nerf

Emperor Azula ··5 votes·1,461 views

You can't kill this champion. His spammable E, combined with a QSS makes him completely unkillable. He is free to dash, dash, dash dash, you can't do anything to him.

CC? nope he has QSS. Burst? nope he'll dash out of range Focus him? nope he'll dash out of range Gank him? nope he'll dash out of range

What can you do against him? Nothing. It's a champion that is too forgiving. You can not kill him ever.

My goodness it's season 4 all over again!

Sure they do.

Though it's mostly just choosing a new champion to QQ about.

There was even a small lull where no one was complaining about Lee Sin or Yasuo; the Cinderhulk meta was truly a glorious time.

Funny because Yasuo was actually far better in the Cinderhulk meta than he is now, but I digress.

He may have been stronger before the nerfs but Cinderhulk junglers typically had enough CC to lock him down during fights, mitigating his threat potential significantly.

In addition, they were far too durable for him to burst down plus Frozen Heart and Thornmail were stronger back then.

While that is true, the Cinderhulk meta also meant he was nearly guaranteed to have tanks on his own team, ensuring he actually gets to play the game. The absolute worst case scenario for Yasuo is that he has to play frontline for his team. He would like nothing better than to sit behind a big fat Sejuani or Sion and just hit tanks with that juicy armor pen from his ult. The wombo combo side of Yasuo may be more flashy but it's insanely dangerous and he would much rather just burn through tanks with the rest of his team while using wind wall to block out enemy carries.

This isn't really true. Being an adc main myself, I do find Lucian oppressive to fight, mostly due to the fact of him having an ultimate that on first level does 1500 damage, but that's not the point. His dash, if you think about it, is lackluster compaired to Lee Sin wardhop, Kat shunpo etc... Also the fact that you have to get your W on them for the cooldown to be lowered which isn't really emphasized in lower elo play. Annother reason that he's not that overpowered is because assassins can jump on him, and there's not really much he can do against that. Sure, he can jump away but it's not really like his jump is that long of ranged. That's just my two cents on it, take it or leave it but from what I've played against him, and what I've played of him I wouldn't call him "overpowered" more like a strong pick right now, and if anything it's not the dash that's the problem.

He has the worst range for an adc already, doesn't need any form of nerf.

Lol range isn't everything on an adc. He has long ranged poke and decent mobility and burst.

I'd still rather have a corki/mf/cait/trist/quinn than a lucian, although cait still needs a slight buff since her being a late game siege carry is severely hurt by the current meta as one of the few adc whose power is from items rather than kit.
