(1) Rite of the Arcane is essentially a single target ability, and it has a potential scaling of 1,3 AP which is the highest in the game for a semi-global ability with 900 base damage. It also has a reasonably low cooldown.

(2) If Karthus' Requiem did not have such a long delay and actually did more damage than RotA, while hitting everyone and being unavoidable without some form of shield/untargetability, then yes, it would be better -- in a vacuum or in a fight.

(3) In contrast to that, Bullet Time has:

i) the same cooldown as the Culling

ii) it's not nearly as hard to land properly

iii) it's AoE and non-colliding, whereas the Culling can be blocked even by minions

iv) it does much more damage, always killing the squishies and significantly hurting the tanks (while it can hit both at the same time) whereas the Culling is not even a guaranteed 100-0 against enemy squishies and Lucian actually loses DPS while using it if he had his abilities available. And as you probably know, hitting a tank with The Culling barely does 30% of their HP at best.

So basically, an AoE low-skill ability has a higher reward on every single target it hits, than a linear single-target colliding skillshot that requires you to land it constantly for 2 seconds.
