Hey guys,

I just played a ranked game on summoners rift and was surprised to see that the enemy talon was actually able to see our invisible wards like if he had an oracle potion using Duskblade of Draktharr!

According to the description of Duskblade of Draktharr, the effect "blackout" associated with it should only disable enemy wards for 8s every 90s, not revealing them!

> UNIQUE – BLACKOUT: When spotted by an enemy ward, causes a blackout for 8 seconds, disabling all nearby wards (90 second cooldown)

This is game breaking because it's basicly a free oracle for every assasin and easily deny all vision to the enemy team.

Please riot fix ASAP!

Uh no, this is intended. If a ward is disabled, it's not invisible anymore. Same reason Control Ward reveals them.

Neptune is right. The stealth of wards is part of the effect. Passive effect: This unit will go into stealth after (however long). With the ward disabled, it doesn't have the passive that makes it stealth.

So basicly when you have this item it automaticly detect all invisible ward and you get it for free every 90s? This is ruining the vision mecanism

If I'm understanding correctly, this is not a bug and is actually its intended feature.
