Actually I'm pretty sure Lucian wasn't considered OP at release because Vayne was balls OP at the time. Later everyone was playing Corki and Jinx so Lucian wasn't that popular either since they were still stronger. At the same time in the proscene people were still playing Caitlyn for her siege. Lucian was always strong, but he only became OP after four other ADs were nerfed or dropped from the limelight before he became "OP".

So no, you're not hipster.

he was utter garbage on release. His Q being buggy and costing double mana + enemies dodging it without even trying to made him pretty weak. After those fixes + some qol mana regen buffs he became really goddam strong. That passive is absurd.


Honestly it's the passive that makes him so strong. Even when he was bugged at launch I just felt that if I got some AD items (usually BT into LW) that I'd just want to use my abilities more to get my passive to go off as often as possible for maximum damage.

It was also when people realized they could abuse Lucian's passive/burst with Triforce when he got really strong. On release people were doing Bork rushes on him which are pretty bad.


People are still doing this retardation on Quinn. Once a pro plays her on stream and goes BT first she will be fotm op, no doubt in my mind.

Yeah.

Thats what I said when he was released, his Passive balls OP.

That and he has a great lane phase, and that was when his Q was hard bugged. That, and having two dashes in teamfights is OP.

He only has one dash on E... Or are you counting Flash as well.

After the W nerfs, Ahri wasn't "OP" yet without any changes became "OP," indicating that champion popularity has a large factor independent of their kit.

The only recent things that could be considered extremely strong in a vacuum were Relic and remade HoG-free Locket, both of which just had obscene power when you did the math, and even that is a poor example because gold-efficiency is relative to all the other items.

yes but that's relatively rare since your autos tend to have higher dps than your ult. plus if you're counting resets Lucian technically has 6 dashes.

Kit does have a lot to do with it though. Didn't Ahri (and fizz) become popular as the best responses to twisted fate? When he fell out of favour, people realised they were pretty darn good against other champs as well. The reason they were picked was their kits.

Could be wrong on that timeline though.

Another big plus for Lucian is his dash clearing all slows. With nasus showing up more and more Lucian really helps deal with Wither aswell.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

Ahri definitely came into pro play as a counter to TF, but didn't Fizz got played because he was good against Ahri ?

nerfs didn't hit his insane roam/snowball potential enough to make him unpopular.

I thought people were saying his nerfs actually made him stronger or did they do another round of nerfs?

Cait's niche is at sieging towers. Similar, but different.

I think Lucian is more an all-in adc than a siege champ though.

I wish I have enough ip to buy him lol, too bad I'm switching from adc to jungler, and my god, jungling champs are expensive.

MUNDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

People tried to build shit with AS to improve The Culling instead of noticing Lucian's passive, Q scaling, and generally low cooldowns (synergy with passive), so they built stuff like BotRK over even BT. That's like building BotRK first on Graves or Caitlyn, it doesn't make much sense.

Ahri, well... she wasn't buffed in any way before she started killing people with DFG-R-W-R-R-ignite in the midgame, and Riot decided to require her to hit skillshots to do damage (which I find pretty reasonable).
Fizz works better against assassins than hyper safe mid picks or afk farmers because he gets to fight them like he wants, partly. Also more swaps and more dynamic laning phase helps him since he doesn't need nearly as much gold as a bunch of other mid laners so having the roaming/fighting stage start earlier and the champs generally have less gold makes it so even without much farm he's still not that behind, and every kill makes him snowball that much more, relatively speaking.

A bit like Kassadin, 'cept Fizz isn't exactly as strong and enters his "zone" earlier.

Wow, I know proportions and all, but isn't Sivir's left arm far too thin? ._. Singed's splash is totally in the mood, though. And Lulu has a "find the odd one" contest with the poros.

Sure, that's ok with me... I'm silver 4 so it'll be alittle hard though I feel I'm better than that.. Realistically probably somewhere in gold atm! Quickly learning tho
