Although he isnt the strongest, and is only viable with a few enchanter types of supports, I still choose to play him because of his skill ceiling and his ability to smurf in lower ranks.

Here is one of the coaching VOD's that I have archived from a Caitlyn ADC perspective! Become a patron to get your in game/stream perks and rewards!
Ideally,
Lucian is a marksman that should be considered when the enemy has drafted squishy or immobile champs. This is because he can take fights on his own terms with E and R which allow for an excess amount of early gold. In the midgame, you can depend on your
Galeforce+R combo for picks and the
Navori Quickblades CD for teamfighting to close out the game.
High Damage and Burst Early Game
because of his double auto
Lightslinger passive, ability-basic attack combos, and
relatively fair attack damage scaling;
Lucian has access to high damage on a single
target as early as level three.
Mobile and Durable Skirmisher
excels in 2V2 and 3V3 skirmishes early and midgame- high singletarget damage
with mobility to chase/evade enemies.
Easily Avoid Jungle Ganks
Relentless Pursuit and
Galeforce allow for aggressive laning with lower risks
of dying to jungle ganks.
Easily Kill Squishies
high single target damage throughout all points of the game.
Galeforce +
The Collector
and culling combos can kill bruisers and squishy champions in under two seconds.
This combo is often performed from
The Culling range and is strong because it is
risk free, excess damage on targets, and low cooldown.
Strong Snowballing Potential
the single target damage increases very rapidly with an influx of gold. Early
kills mean that it will become much easier to continue pushing your lead.




This scenario isnt as neat when he is played into tanky, gapclosing, and scaling compositions. Additionally, laning and teamfighting could be very difficult against long range damage dealers (
Lulu,
Caitlyn,
Syndra etc). If you find yourself getting behind early because you get poked in laning phase or get outranged, you will not get your excess gold and will get outscaled.

CONS
Very Low-Range Marksman
can easily get poked out of lane, or get outranged in teamfights. Must adopt caster playstyle to compensate for lack of range.
Very Difficult to Play When Behind

if
Lucian doesn't get his early excess gold, he wont be able to keep up in damage or contribue efficiently to fights and skirmishes.

Gets Outscaled by Most Other Picks
eventually if the game gets too late and all enemies have capped their items,
Lucian becomes less useful because of range and caster style marksman issues.

Difficulty Teamfighting
must be very carful with relentless pursuit because it commits you to a position until you get it off cooldown. The targets you relentless pursuit on should be in lethal damage range or make sure you can't get locked up immediately after.
Not Beginner Friendly
because of the intense combos and variations of those combos, lower range, and bad scaling-
Lucian isnt too friendly for newer players and isn't the easiest to master.



Lucians passive contains two parts:

Relentless pursuit is lucians biggest mobility source, and can be taken off cooldown by doubleshotting enemies and creeps (2X as fast on enemy champions). With the correct builds above, your E should be off cooldown after each rotation requiring one doubleshot on one enemy. This is demonstrated as:
You do not need to use the entire length of the dash, and an experienced burst combo with











This ultimate spell should often be used to pick off squishies before objectives to give your team an edge on those objectives.

RELENTLESS PURSUIT OVER THICK WALLS
BUGGED LUCIAN MOVEMENT - BASE SKIN
BUGGED LUCIAN MOVEMENT - HIGH NOON SKIN
In the end,
Lucian is often avoided by players because of his short range and caster playstyle. He is not always the best pick and gets outscaled fairly easy. He is not beginner friendly and requires plenty of practise to reap some league points.
For experienced marksman players,
Lucian good be a great niche pick or "one trick" champion because his counters don't completely destroy him too much, he is blind pickable, can be flexed mid (and top), and ultimately is really fun/flashy to play.

Lucian or would like to discuss anything mentioned further, come by my daily twitch stream, or check out my youtube channel for some
