Some things to note about Lucian, for what it may be worth.


 * Instead of free stats and steriods, Lucian has high scaling ability and his passive. Keep in mind that his passive applies on hit effects with their full power like another main attack (and crit), so Stattik and lifesteal a pretty cool thing on him.


 * His abiltiies don't crit themselves, so early game it's not that wise of an idea to prioritize it.
 * To that end, his Q and ult scale well with AD and CDR (and Attack Speed, see below), his W and E just with CDR.


 * His ult is like a series of skillshots with missile speeds and amount/strength dependant attack speed, on a low cooldown for an ult. Think MF's ult mixed with Lux's ult when using it: great to spam, no problem if you miss since the next one would/will be around the next corner.
 * To that end, you should use your W before using your R. The extra MS helps with positioning, assuming you know how to skillshot.


 * Q should be used decisively, akin to Sivir's Q (and to a degree, her W). Don't spam it every cooldown, wait for your window of opportunity, and everything between you and your oppenent to your advantage. Make every shot/throw count.


 * E is more like Fizz's E, not Vayne's Tumble. Better to use it mid fight defensively rather than offensively (though using it before a fight/gank so the cooldown will reset midfight is an alright idea). It's damage, of course, comes from the ability to proc his passive.
