There is little point arguing over this. Lucian has the community split - 70% of players cannot handle his playstyle and blame the champion for being underpowered, and will be outraged by the nerf because they think he's underpowered; while the other 30% of players have mastered his quirky playstyle and are abusing him. I would personally put Lucian as being on-par with post-rework Master Yi - they both blend abilities and autoattacks for a delectable combination of burst and sustained damage.

Unfortunately for you, just as Orianna, Graves, Diana and Hecarim players have learned, Riot balances champions based on the players who can use them.
