It IS a big deal

Sivir makes up for her range with the powerful utility she brings to her team while Lucian will not have much.

He won't be able to trade properly in lane either, 50 range is much more than you think... He WAS  able to trade with Caitlyn back then because of the fact that his Q could go farther if you aimed it properly and with less range than ever now, it will RARELY ever hit a Caitlyn or any other late game AD carries right now.

NOTHING other than either MASSIVE utility such as Sivir or RANGE BOOSTING skills such as Twitch's ultimate, Jinx's Q or Kog'Maw's W will make up for the lack of range late game as 500 range is pretty much going straight up into their team, it is extremely risky. Now, you can buy many stats but range is NOT one of them. You may have the stats but you won't be able to fight without either getting completely kited or E into them which is definitely not a good idea later on in the game where you can get killed before you can even reset your E. Why are late game hypercarries good? Because of their RANGE, making them very safe to play.
