Both Lucian and Mundo got buffed with items and stats before this season. Lucian had his W changed and ult buffed and this turned out to be a really big deal because it smoothed out his power curve. Before these changes he was actually pretty mediocre in lane and his transitioning wasn't the best. Right now he's pretty strong early game, REALLY strong mid game and very strong late game. He actually outscales all other mid/low range AD carries except Vayne.

Also, it's not Thunderlords that makes Lucian really strong. It's Fervor of Battle. Right now it caps at 8 stacks so Lucian can get full stacks and the extra damage in a single E>auto>Q>auto and enjoy being near impossible to outdamage in a lane all-in.
