Relentless Pursuit only refreshes during the 3 seconds his ultimate is active. It doesn't refresh as standard.

The primary reason it has no cost is probably to discourage mana builds, like you see on Corki and Ezreal. As with Master Yi's rework, they want "old school AD carries" who build old school AD stats - like critical strike chance and attack speed. Thus, they're giving him "free stats" (sort of).

I guess you could say it's power creep, but I honestly think it's balanced compared to similar champs such as Vayne, Miss Fortune and Ezreal (who all have relatively low costs and/or free abilities, such as Vayne's Silver Bolts, Miss Fortune's Strut and Ezreal's AS steroid/Mystic Shot, which might as well be a free ability).

Champions like Caitlyn, Tristana and Corki will likely feel a little bit ancient by comparison to Lucian's shiny new mechanics, but give Riot chance. I'm still hoping Corki becomes a heat-champion. ^_^
