"Specifically for Lucian, his high generic power (a strong early and late game, high burst, high mobility, etc) meant he could just be blindly picked without much consideration for the enemy team"

I don't know what you're trying to say here, but the intention with nerfing him was to give him clearly defined weaknesses and strengths, since he was just strong. At the time, they had no hyper mobile marksman, so they made that his strength and tried to balance him around it, clearly it failed, but that's because they never balanced out his other strength of being bursty as hell with just his passive. By the time they cut that down, they'd already nerfed his mobility into the ground, so he ended up just being generally weaker than most carries.

Still, his mobility wasn't completely limited to his attack range, and that's the most signficant reason why a nerf on range would kill Kalista much harder than you seem to give credit for.

Unrelated note, I was thinking of Ryze with the range nerfs that just completely killed him.
