PvP and Chroma Packs

I got the Chroma Pack for Lucian and gotta say I like what RIOT has done with the packs. Personnally, I think more could have been done seeing as only his jacket changes colors, but meh. Not complaining. What I did notice is that I'm unable to pick a Color when it comes to Team Builder. I hope Riot sees this portion and does a hotfix for this.

On to other things though. Looking for some guidance with Lucian.

Most of the "builds" I find for him say to use Quins of AS, I've found that using Armor Pen. instead increases my ability to score kills (early game). It may just be that it works better for me but wanted to find out. My build is also slighty different then most suggested builds. (Long Sword, 2x H.Pot, 1 M. Pot, and ward to start). Rush "The Brutalizer" for damage (Youmuu's Ghostblade can wait), Berserker Greaves ASAP, B.F. Sword for more damage then finish Infinity ASAP, Instead of building Shiv I go for Phantom Dancer BC I'm building Crit and I want it's passive of moving through units, AS is just a bonus, After these I go back and finish off Youmuu's (again I'm building Crit, the low damage on this item is why I build it after I have I.E.). These 4 items are my core build. At this point I'm criting every 2-3 hits for 600+ damage. Building to this is way expensive yes, but worth it. Last hits are very important xD.

Frankly, I find it silly everyone says not to go AS Lucian... but puts AS Quins in the rune build, along with 2-3 AS items. (Shiv, Berserker's, and a few had Ruined King)

Now I know alot of Lucian builds show Trinity Force and Guardian Angel. Yes I do suggest them but rarely get to use them myself... games are normally won/lost by the time I'm ready to start building these. I'll use The Butcher in Co-Op matches for fun (big damage), but not in PvP seeing as I'm not building Life Steal (Opinions on this item with Lucian???). Also, If I'm really mana starving him I'll build Tear of the Goddess towards Manamune... though I haven't done that since he launched.

Pretty much I'm looking for ideas on the last two items. Angel/Force are the two I'm leaning towards for survival ability. Ideas??

Simply, I'm looking for a Ranked Lucian Player to test my build and see if it's worth it (IOW, that either this build is solid or just because of my Lucian play style) in ranked matches. (I'm not ranked, still practicing with Lucian and others before I try again... lost my lane miserably... I was bot solo, ouch)

I use Sneaky's (LCS player for Cloud 9) build on Lucian, it pretty much carried me to plat.

item 3031 item 3087 item 3035, against multiple tanks item 3153 , against low armor enemies item 3072 and ofcourse boots and a defensive item for the rest.

He runs 9x AD Marks, 9x Armor Seals, 9x Flat MR Glyphs, 3x AS Quints I personally run the same thing except only 2x AS Quints and 1x AD Quint.

You should generally always start item 1055 item 2003

You shouldn't really rush item 3006 infact I usually walk around with item 1001 until my item 3035 is done. item 3035 should almost always be 3rd item on any adc and is core to all ADCs because Armor Pent is soooooo important.

For defensive items it should really depend on enemy team, if there is CC you really need to cleanse item 3139 , if you can't get hooked or poked at long range item 3102 , if you are just getting focused hard and you know your team won't abandon you after your angel animation starts item 3026 .

If you are going OOM you really should just be more efficient with your ability cast. Oh and the reason people say not to go AS on Lucian is because they want his double shot to deal as much as possible not his Culling. Double shot does more DPS than Culling through out the game.

In ranked with your build with item 3142 item 3031 item 3046 being your core this is really expensive and you will be doing low damage to tanks. Maybe in S4 meta this would be alright although it would probably be more like item 3078 item 3031 item 3142 but right now I don't think this is a strong build due to all the tanks running around ruining your day.

But you know that is just my item 3093 2 gold upon killing a unit. (ahh humor)
