1. Make new champion
2. Make it OP
3. People buy
4. Let it be OP for a week
5. Announce huge nerfs like: "we are reducing Kha's Q damage by 100%"
6. People never play it again but Riot got money

Rinse and repeat

They've employed other tacts to get people to spend money, Jani. It's not always the same. Consider the following!;

1. Leak Lucian
2. people hyped for black champ.
3. release a different champion. People wonder about previous leak.
4. Lucian enters PBE with almighty pro AP ratios for ultra pwn AP build.
5. *****es mirin'
6. Nerf the **** out of that ****.
7. Release Lucian. No one buys him.
8. steadily buff Lucian over the course of a few months until a pro player picks him up.
9. ???
10. PROFIT.

I'm pretty sure it's the hidden passive:

"Whenever Lucian is against that ***** wifestealer he deals 1000000% increased damage against any fu**ing b**ch"

And thanks to Thresh getting even more popular, Lucian has been a good counterpick.

Thanks to OwenTheAwesomer for the signature =)

The whole idea of LoL betrays Lucian's lore.

Other than the obvious black man with guns (OMFG THAT'S RACIST), he is an undead African American who is constantly killing other undeads.


(I'm at work, but when I get home, I will tell you the LoL Lore of Lucian according to Toshabi)

This joke has been beaten to death already. Along with comparisons to tentacle hentai and the flying spaghetti monster.
