Talk:Lucian/@comment-4124337-20130905211918

I have played 5 games as Lucian in the last 2 days and won 4 of them. I genuinely do not believe he is overpowered, his ultimate is surprisingly well balanced and i am really trying not to be biased as the lucian player.

I found that it is difficult playing him when buying BotRK first and when i built IE i saw a HUGE inrease in his ease to play. BotRK seems like it was made to increase the power of his ult but it's too weak early on to do much anyway. I built IE, phantom dancer, BT, BotRK, another phantom dancer or a shiv (and bezerkers greaves obviously).

Another thing is that if you have an enemy running you can use Lucians ult to zone them from their escape route rather than hit them. If you aim against a wall in front of them they either have to go through to ult or stop running given your team a chance to catch up. Again, the ult doesn't do much damage early and even late it could only halve an ad or ap carry's health bar but it's utility is good for splitting teams :)

This is all the opinion of someone who plays Marksmen so take what you want from it.
