So, I think Lucian is going to lose some popularity in pro play soon (or would have even if the S4 changes weren't about to bulldoze the meta anyways). Not that he isn't strong, but at nearly 100% Pick/Ban status I think Lucian teams seem to be allowing more comebacks than any other AD Carry.

He still seems excellent as a choice for poke comps (although Cait is also very strong there), and in Double AD fastpush comps, perhaps also could fit into a comp with more late-game oriented solo lanes. However, his lane-bullying is minimized for pro play, and The Culling seems to either do no damage or miss completely after 15, 20 minutes. He doesn't seem to be filling the Corki position that so many teams seem to want him to, definately need to know him if you are a pro AD, but he is not a pick that you can shoehorn into every comp like teams seem to be doing.

Lot of pro players are really bad at Lucian, they're just playing him because he's supposed to be good. They do alright because of their natural mechanics, but they play the character wrong and it's pretty silly to watch sometimes.


Not knowing how Lucian should be played, how would that be?

Look at Deft in last saturday's OGN VoDs.

(First of all, he never ults if he's in range to do anything else. That's a big one, and a dead horse at the same time.)
Cant take LMS hipsters serious.

riven cant run into a fight an insta kill someone and use a skill to get out again the way zed can or kassadin can
its super obvious if she's going in and she probably does'nt want to use Q except if she's already at target so that just leaves E which is a short jump for a squishy melee

ok, I see what you mean, she can't technically be classified as an assassin

but

she has the kill power of an assassin mixed with the team fight capabilities of a bruiser - she really is quite bonkers

I've only played Lucian twice but I've come out of laning phase something like 8-2 at 15 minutes both times

Every single game I get a "black guy stole my kill" joke though

Done laughing. Barring the fact that solo laners hit lvl 6 berore 7:15 (the usual time when your 2nd buff spawns) even if you take solo lane experience the only way you'll be able to keep up is if either laner dies to a dumb gank timing and gives up 2 full waves of experience.

Unless you're playing with solo laners who consistently missmanage wave and get killed at their own tower while you're near to get all the exp. You shouldn't be able to keep up.


to add on to this, the average lvl 6 jungler in NA LCS was 7:52. Meteos had an average of 7:25. So I don't know what tax heavy jungler friends wei is playing with, but I'd imagine most junglers are more than "30s to 1min" from hitting 6 compared to solo lanes. probably closer to hitting 6 with a duo lane.

What? If you don't gank, you can easily hit lvl 6 before 7 minutes in the jungle with any fast clear champ. You can even cut it down all the way to 6:10 ish with some optimization.

But she can, run into a fight, kill 3 people, die, revive with GA, shield up, and kill the other 2 guys.

(First of all, he never ults if he's in range to do anything else. That's a big one, and a dead horse at the same time.)

Yeah that one's a biggy. Lucian DPS is distinctly higher and more versatile when he's autoattacking. The trick is that, other than being exploded by an AP, Lucian shouldn't die in fights. No bruiser should be reaching him, so he should just be potshotting people. His ult makes sure that bruisers cant do anything by taking over half their health just by running. Lucian should be trying to bait out bruisers and damage onto him and then kite them, leaving them dead in the water after they've burned their gapclosers on the slipperiest of targets (this is why Lucian counters jarvan really, really hard. And Vi too.). The enemy team can't afford to ignore him or chase him, and it makes his damage pretty silly.

She can't reach you from 700 range like Talon or 900 like Kha'Zix, she "only" has 325 + 260 = 585 range on a EQ to get in stun range (she'll waste one passive stack if she ulted first, but she doesn't need any to 100-0 squishies, mindless RWQQQR is enough for most of the game as soon as she has half an item's worth of AD).

She's still faster bootless than a good chunk of champions with t2 boots just by spamming Q and E on cooldown.
Remember when Talon's problem was that "he deals too much AoE damage"? Even taking his max rank E into account and ignoring her ult's bonus, Riven has more AoE damage/ratio with her skills than Talon's single target damage (although his Q's total AD ratio means that he pulls ahead... till you add her ult bonus).

Note how I said "skills", not "kit". Now add the passive.
Also AD scaling shield.
Also AD steroid on her passive working with lifesteal.
Also 2 AoE hard cc.
And she doesn't need vision for any of her skills.


Why are you picking Talon as a comparison, because of that Riot statement? Talon's AoE functions much differently than Riven's(because you know, it's actually AoE, not tiny circles barely longer than auto attack range). Shadow assault has a 500 unit radius, Ki Burst has a 135 and Broken Wings 162.5/200(1st+2nd vs third hit) both with ult activated. Her ult is a bigger cone than Rake, but it's also an execute with not very good minimum damage(kind of why people tend to use it early on in activation to you know, execute the single target they were killing). Just because she has some AoE potential when positioning allows it, doesn't make her AoE a problem.

This post is in no way meant to call either Talon or Riven good or bad, just discussing how dumb the comparison feels.

LeBlanc is actually really strong vs.mid Riven but I don't recommend it unless you are a playmaker, you get outscaled so badly the onus is on you to not only kill her but to make plays while she is dead, the good news is if you kill her once she can't come anywhere near you.

lulu and nasus (just in general on your team) are also ways to deal with her.

man that CLG reddit thread, I feel bad for Kelby, the market is there and the time window is short if he wants to make some cash is that so wrong? Redditors thing everything should be free to the point it's disgusting sometimes.

I think something like $5000 is probably less than then would make if they all streamed during that time. The biggest fuck up with CLG is signing with Azubu where streams go to die.

he's really good but his tournament pick priority is head scratching to me, it might just be because he's the strongest non solo lane champion so it's safer to fp, idk.

I think the opportunity to go hang with CLG for a 3 day weekend is really cool. $1k is way over-priced though, especially considering your travel isn't included. I'd consider it for maybe half that.

But yeah, they could all be streaming and just make butt-tons. Why did they sign with Azubu? Did twitch not want them/vice-versa?

im still torn on lucian, his chase is pretty bonkers so if you are ahead its really easy to secure kills, but in a more equal lane im still not sold on him.

That's why comps featuring lucian consider getting ahead a requirement, but really it's easy to get ahead in bot with lucian his Q and passive shit on most ADCs lol.

when you consider that food, activities (diamond bar is pretty close to laser tag!!! and who else knows what kelby has planned), probably tons of swag (i would be really surprised if participants left with anything less than a full clg wardrobe), individualized lessons, and a nice roof over your head (diamond bar is a nice neighborhood), the price is definitely not outrageous. the players might make a little bit off of this (less than they would have through streaming, no doubt though), but my guess is that CLG as an organization will probably gain no money out of this at best, and likely lose a bit of cash

like, to a starving college student or a high school kid with no job, this is no doubt out of your price range. but for someone with basically any sort of job that wants to spend a little disposable income and support their favorite org, this is an extremely inexpensive (and super awesome) vacation
