Lucian theorycrafting

[quote=Joxuu]Yo. I have just recently seen the potential of [[lucian]]. Well I guess I could say I have noticed it a lot sooner, but stubbornly didn't want to realize it. Now I'm going to pick him up as it's not that heavily focused ban anymore. I'm participating in tournament ~2 weeks and I want to pick him up there at a level where I can lane against plat-diamonds. My question first of all is about the build. I have very little time to test out, so I'd like opinion on the best option for those that have fiddled around with it: Rush BT or Triforce ? LW or BT after Triforce ? I would propably go for Triforce --> BT --> Zeal --> LW or something, but I don't even ahve [[lucian]] bought atm, so help ples :D Second: Which supports you prefer and how do you play him generally ?[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000]Most players go [[bloodthirster]] > [[trinity force]] > [[last whisper]] > [[infinity edge]] and that's the build I like best too. You can play him with virtually any support to be honest, Lucian is very versatile and works with practically any lane. Lucian + Annie was probably the strongest lane in the game last patch but any aggressive or poke support should work fine. He's also pretty straightforward and easy to pick up, the only difficult part is learning the right moments to use his ult so that it actually does something. Unfortunately his Q was just nerfed by 40 at max rank which is a [i]lot[/i] so I have my doubts that he'll continue to be top tier.[/quote]

[quote=Joxuu]Thanks for the good response. I think he still remains a strong pick and I'll consider expanding my adc pool with him even after the nerf.[/quote]

[quote=tehAsian]I build him similarly to Luther, except I buy a Cleaver instead of IE for the armor shred. But that's because I play him more like a caster :p[/quote]
