Banner of command: item that was alright in soloq, but OP(?) in competitive -> removed Duskblade: item that tells you if you've been seen by a ward 24/7, has ton of damage with no real cooldown and is overloaded -> after 2 unsuccessful reworks it's still in the game ???
Every time i see some shithead with duskblade clear two wards from random proc of its bullshit passive i want to uninstall.
Banner of command = has been around longer and is very hard to balance due to either being useless, or over powered. It shoved a lane by itself, and ignored magic damage. When used with ZzRot portal it messed up towers like crazy especially with baron as well.
banner of command was removed from the game because everyone would buy it as first item it was unstoppable when the whole team would banner a whole wave. duskblade can be countered with a stopwatch or hourglass heck if you have a good burst champion like 
then that's op enough but if you have a champion like 
or 
it's pretty easy to see them coming duskblade is not that op but banner was
The best thing is, they are reworking redemption to be something similar but weaker effect on minions all around you.
