Are they ever going to nerf Duskblade?

I know they already nerfed it. But it obviously did nothing. It's quite ridiculous how 90% of AD champs build it now. It gives way too much damage, vision control, and it so cheap to buy. There's literally no counter play to it besides keeping vision long enough to not get hit. IF you have vision. I'm tired of seeing it on champs that shouldn't even have it cuz they're not assassins. I feel like it was literally just made to make Zed a viable champ again and that's it. It's starting to get ridiculous. Another theory is it's just duskblade combined with the new runes. If the adjustments in preseason don't balance out with Duskblade I'm honestly done with this game. Preseason has been garbage so far and duskblade is just boring and annoying to see now every game on every AD champ.

Duskblade has been nerfed like 4 or 5 times.

They've changed around lethality items quite a bit after introducing lethality.

I feel like it could go either way. Idk if riot is 100% happy with it or not.

I think they should rework the passive damage component to only last 1 second after being visible, thus being good only for a niche of champion or clever uses of brushes. Actually 5 seconds let pretty much every high damage AD caster champion use it even though they don't stealth (Jayce, Ez, Mf, Jhin, J4, etc ...)

This is the second post ive seen claiming that non-assassins are building duskblade. Like who??? The only slight exceptions ive seen in high elo are riven and graves and thats not too crazy. Mind you that they just nerfed lethality by 6 points, which is a huge relief to mages who can only build zonya for defense. The real problem is that while we have one AP/Armor option, they get stacked asf with Maw AND a QSS/AD item.

its not duskblade its lethality in the current meta where we have no early game resistances or ANY resistances for that matter, unless you're a tank/fighter/bruiser
