What else is there to nerf Lucian without straight up making him either Underpowered or useless? Situational picks are fine as long as they are viable and competitive. Just because Lucian can do almost anything as far as an ADC is concerned doesn't make him "Overpowered", especially when there are ADCs who have especially made kits for anything Lucian can do.

In any case, making his passive is already pretty fine now. Making it not do bonus damage to minions would make it pretty much useless in lane, as the timer to use it as already been nerfed so you can no longer hold it and zone your lane opponents with it, so you pretty much use it to farm and making it not proc on structures wouldn't do anything for his siegeing potential. He already does a good enough siege without it thanks to Piercing Light and The Culling, both abilities that have been nerfed in past patches and Lucian isn't a siege ADC anyway.

I don't think they will nerf him anyways. Graves and Corki are already pretty dominant since they control the lane far better than Lucian and can shut down him pretty early, making his early game nerfs hurt a lot more. If anything, I think his mid game should be better, but he isn't really in need of any changes. He is fine after all. Making him weaker and weaker wouldn't make him "situational" or "niche" just outright useless.
