Well, after looking at the patch 4.12 forecast, I spent some time thinking about what changes could be made to Lucian's kit. After playing with him and against him as a support, I can safely say that a lot of his power comes from his passive, Lightslinger. It provides a lot of hidden burst and excellent dueling power. I think focusing on this skill, especially early game, will help control Lucian's overall power curve. With that said, I have an idea on how to change Lightslinger:

''Lucian gains Lightslinger stacks every seconds (affected by cooldown reduction), to a maximum of  stacks. After using an ability, Lucian's next auto attack within 6 seconds will strike twice and expend a Lightslinger stack. (The second strike has the same effects as his current iteration.)''

I initially had the stack duration at one static cooldown, but I felt that it would hamper Lucian's late-game. In any case, By changing the amount of times Lucian can doubleshot with Lightslinger, he is given him a significant early game weakness, and gives him windows of downtime in the lane phase. I feel like this is one of the better course of actions if they want to keep his mobility and damage potential in his other abilities.
