Id expect a Jinx nerf (I would target here minigun aspd boost) but otherwise I dont see why Lucian needs a nerf. I'd, instead, expect base stat nerfs to Jinx. Perhaps to her base AS among other stats, focusing on her early game.
Yeah her base AS growth is Nautilus level of bad.

Jinx is just the strongest AD, but I actually wouldn't touch any of them until toplane is fixed. Personally I think Lucian is a bigger balance problem in botlane than Jinx because he makes champs like Graves, Corki, and MF basically stupid to pick, and on top of that he makes it really difficult to pick champs like Trist, Kog, Vayne, and Ashe because of laning (two of those are also irrelevant because of toplane's ridiculousnees right now as well).

imo, jinx's ult is the problem, either hit the damage or the cd. It's an aoe execute that almost always gets her a kill, and yet it's cd is 10 seconds shorter than graves's ult at level 1 and scales down to 20 seconds shorter at level 3.

They're so fucking useless in teamfights compared to everyone else. S4 adc's pretty much are only there to take towers, and if they can do some burst damage, then that's good enough.

is anyone running into an issue where all their old limited skins that had that crappy watermark, aren't showing it anymore?

Yeah, I feel like a useless pile of shit as an ADC so far in S4 unless I'm hitting buildings, so it would be nice to have some buffs to some of my favorite champs like ezreal, graves, etc. Right now, if I'm not Jinx, I feel like I do 0 damage.

honestly that is the only version i've seen so far. shiv+ie has a very shitty timing. your bruiser will have sunfire+randuins by then and will initiate fights. no way yasuo is dueling a bruiser in a splitpush (its actually almost painful to watch when a yasuo tries this either in pro or in soloq play). the only use cases are the following: 1. yasuo snowballs from laneing phase (midlane mostly) and gets significant gold lead so he has a relevant teamfight. 2. yasuo deals follow up/cleanup damage in well engaged teamfights and is not getting focussed (he gets carried) 3. the opposing team has almost no CC to deal with melee autoattackers and has trouble to control/kite him and not enough disengage to maintain a poke war. yasuo winning by himself is a pure snowball case and a yasuo who is behind is extremely crippling because he doesn't provide anything aside a situational shield, which can be very good I admit but in the other hand I rather have someone who can poke/cc himself instead of someone who blocks a little bit of it sometimes.

Yeah I think there's probably a number of ADCs that could use buffs.
Quinn buff plx.

It's all about timing + team comp.
If you're planning on running in top lane, you better hope your midlaner is running strong AP damage. If you force the tank top laner to run sunfire + randuins to deal with your 2 item timing, then your midlaner is going to tear through them like nothing. Also his 1 item timing is pretty strong too, Shiv deals a lot of magic damage, and is sort of hard to itemize against when they're usually rushing to finish sunfire.

Being an adc and an assassin aren't mutually exclusive.

Support is in a pretty nice place atm as far as itemization goes. Enjoy playing it. Nomads/talisman is pretty awesome and then you can end with 2-3 other items like randuins/locket and something selfish D:
TBH i like where items are in general as opposed to S2/3, definitely an improvement in my eyes. The trinkets make for pretty interesting situations.
Champion balance is a bit ridiculous though, Jinx, mundo and shyvana running riot. (Pun intended?) Not to mention the others like ziggs / gragas etc.
I mean, Jinx is so batshit i could engage and trade evenly with leona/jinx vs thresh/vayne while she was 0/4 and vayne was 4/3. Dat jinx was bad but fuck me is that champ batshit. (Or my leona was godly? D
