It really depends on the Carry. Corki and Tristana you don't want to depend on stray AP because all if not most of your harass scales from AP. Sivir and Quinn there's no need for AP in any stretch of the mind. One of Sivir's abilities do indeed scale from AP but it's better to just go all AD with no AP and you won't miss the magic damage if all is going well.

When a champion has pure single scalings for an ability and it's magic in paticular you will always do magic damage even with no AP. But it will be horrendous and pitiful making that part of your kit almost useless. When it's shared scalings with AP and AD. Will always be relevant but AP can actually be phased out if you have no AP in the kit.

The only question is which scales better and should be the focus of the build or if there is any qualties that make going Hybrid a choice. From what I can tell there is almost never a situation where Hybrid works and going AP on a Carry is always a flawed prospect so as far as Lucian is concerned I would go with.

What I said earlier. Some AP in the runes and masteries as the AP scalings are even or higher than the AD scalings they partner with. If you ignored AP completely the W would be slightly weaker and the ultimate would do half it's potential damage. Personally that would irk me but go with whatever works for you. When the champion comes out I mean.
