Ashe is rarely a good example for comparing Marksmen. She's got the kit of a support with the base stats of a marksman. However, she needs attack speed so that she can actually utilize her Frost Shot effectively so that she can kite people around all day.

I'm not saying that getting Attack Speed on Lucian would be as bad as something like Mana Regen or anything like that, but the fact of the matter remains that Lucian doesn't have as much synergy with Attack Speed as carries like Vayne, Varus, Twitch, etc. Hell, even the client's champion pages support this; "Because of Lightslinger, Lucian benefits more from Attack Damage than he does from Attack Speed."

Similar example: How many Corki players do you see getting Attack Speed items other than Triforce? Personally, every one I've seen went with Sorc Shoes then just stacked AD items (LW, BT, IE).
