I don't know I'm not sold on Lucian needing nerfs, he seems pretty cool/strong but he's not even the best adc in the game atm. (or 2nd) he just seems to be good, which is good if it ends up panning out that way.

He's one of the first champions in a while i've thought showed riot had some sense of how power curves should work in a game.

the range on Q is prohibitive vs. a lot of popular tanks but in theory yes.

Well he's gotta hit something anyway if he wants to make himself useful, hasn't he? So waiting (or positioning himself) for an opportunity to Q to a squishy through the frontline rather than use it immediatly to deal additional damage to the frontline could be a way to contribute more.

I've come around pretty heavily toward hybrid penetration marks and Arpen Quints Armor/level seals and mres/lvl and a few mana regen glyphs. Then grabbing Wits end + bruta + last whisper. it FEELS like it hits his timing more smoothly and it feels like you are killing stuff at the right times and rates.

I mean that is mostly true but Ideally you want to kite their tanks back into your tanks before engaging, if it is lined up at this point then yes you are right, I guess I just pictured the original quote to be lucian trying to do pre fight poke which is stupid for obvious reasons.

I don't think he's as bad in team fights as people are saying?

are you maxing E second? are you getting BT first?

I still haven't tried triforce yet, so I'm waiting for a report on that, and MF/Jayce style builds are going to need to wait till the q mana bug is gone because as is they just don't work out atm.

armor/lvl yellows is basically throwing his lane strength in the toilet. not sure why you'd want split pen his W is ass and should be a 1 point wonder for the speed boost only. unless you are trying to maximize wit's damage?? pls px.

I think thresh is where he should be, but more supports need to be there.


What, so we could have more support bans?

I hate that my two hookcity champs are permabanned, I pretty much don't ranked anymore because of it.

I Really really like triforce on him, but just rushing penetration and wits end has paid off quite a bit that i'm unsure if the benefits of a fast triforce outweigh the benefits of the mentioned build.

It would be nice to see some more supports. Honestly I think support needs to have a "holy trinity" like ADC used to, except that should be Lulu, Janna, and Nami. Thresh, as a tier 1 support is really annoying because hooks in this game are really annoying.

I just tried AP Corki. Literally endless supply of missiles. Build gets done right hilarious once you get Rylais+Liandry's.

I've played lucian A LOT. I kind of tanked my rating while I learned how to play him, but at this point I'm pretty good with him. I've been using the mashme build I posted a few pages back and I really like it. Bruta-BT-Zephyr feels like a nice solid item buildup for him. And those 3 items really complement each other well. I feel his core ability is really that dash (aside from the passive of course), a 6 sec cd, with 40%cdr, dash like that makes him extremely slippery.

I wouldn't agree that he trails off late game either. I havent once thought that, and I have played 4-5 full item build games with him. Just with the way attack speed and cdr scale into his kit... I dont think you can say he trails off at all.

my only complaint is dat ult. I just use it to farm waves mid-late game hah.

Well, did people try "sacrificing" his ult when doing Nashor or drake since it's apparently deemed useless in teamfights unless you're kiting backwards/trying to finish off someone far? The x4 damage isn't there anymore but until you get some crit it should be able to out-dps your autos?
I should do some math to compare auto-ing vs ulting at levels 6 and 11, and which build is stronger at the 2 item timing (as in how does crit for his passive fare against additional AD for his spells).

Riot needs to come out with 5 more hook champs so they can't all be banned out, then I'll be happy. I'm quite sad that Blitz/Thresh have been permabanned for so long.

sometimes I wonder if your mechanical skill is actually two or three divisions ahead of where you are and you get held back because you insist on using suboptimal builds. armor/level? seriously?

Like, if you drop me in bronze I could probably carry games despite building shit like wit's on AD carries, but it doesn't make it a good build.

I don't often come in and play heavy-handed moderation when it comes to theorycraft but this is irritating me
  1. Never ever say that Armour/lvl Seals work in bot lane or for a matter of fact in almost every lane except where both players agree 20 min no harass. In fact, if anyone ever recommends Armour/lvl Seals again I am going to mod-action them. There is room for customising rune pages in LoL, but this is something you absolutely do not compromise on.
  2. The MPen component of Hybrid Pen only works for his E. I don't think it's worth taking that and giving up AD which makes last hitting even harder and means your auto trades in lane are going to suck. Taking MPen to make Wits End even better is bad because Wits End is not great for AD Carries and trying to mitigate and build around a flaw is just fundamentally worse than actually doing something good and proactive in the first place. (This is also MtG Deck Building Rule #2.)
  3. Wits End is bad on AD Carries.
  4. Wits End It doesn't even apply on his Ult. Which means you are solely doing this to take advantage of his Passive. Which is a bad idea because point 3
  5. Building Wits End first item in lane is bad itemisation too. I have no idea how you plan on surviving the laning phase sitting on a Recurve Bow and Mantle and just not dying repeatedly.
ModeratorA dream. Do you have one that has cursed you like that? Or maybe... a wish?

I would be onboard with Blitz/Thresh hooks, if they were ultimate skills with 40+Second cooldowns. The problem is you have a skill that is (realistically) super easy to hit, to gamechanging effects, on a short cooldown. That is almost always available. At least with blitz his hook has a ridiculous mana cost and the rest of his kit is kinda crappy, but thresh...

I wish they would release two more hook champs at least just so banning them out didn't always happen or at least it would make people lose out on banning others
