They stealth nerfed Lucian

Lucian Lucian's got a shorter window to double tap people with Lightslinger, and deals less damage with it at lower levels.
Lucian is a character that's carefully defined by his low combat range (500) and being opportunistic to succeed within it. These changes are more along the lines of pushing that while creating more windows of opportunity against Lucian. We do say windows of opportunity a lot.
Passive - Lightslinger PASSIVE BUFF DURATION6 seconds ⇒ 3 seconds RATIO0.5 attack damage at all levels ⇒ 0.3/0.4/0.5 attack damage at levels 1/7/13

What they fail to mention is that instead of his passive doing full damage to minions and monsters, it does DOUBLE the passive damage. Rito pls.

After using an ability, Lucian's next autoattack within 3 seconds will strike twice.

The second shot deals 30 / 40 / 50% of Lucian's Total AD (deals double damage to minions and monsters), but fully applies on-hit effects, and can critically strike. If the target is killed before the second shot can go off, the second shot will automatically shoot at something else.

Clearly stated in the ingame tooltip.

Working as intended.

It's still a stealth nerf because before it stated it dealt full damage to minions.

They changed how it worked without putting it in patch notes.

4.20: 50% * 2 = 100% (aka full damage to minions!) 4.21: 30/40/50% * 2 = 60/80/100%.

It works the exact same way.

I would agree with you if it originally said double damage.

But it didn't.

It'd be like when they changed Caitlyns passive to not generate stacks on turrets? If they didn't actually say anything, only changed the tooltip?

LUCIAN IS GETTING STEALTH? I CANT HANDLE THIS GAME ANYMORE. WAY TOO MANY OVERLOADED CHAMPIONS. THE FORUM IS EVEN INSANE. PLAYERS JUST RAGE OVER SMALL STATISTICS AND DON'T EVEN READ THE POST.
