so can we talk about why Gunblade still deals 200+ damage while other Hextechs do 100

I never really cared enough to come to the boards before but i just saw that GPL's damage is being lowered on the PBE

and it**baffles** me i see GPL being built on Aurelion Sol 99% of the time, and Protobelt on maybe 3 people the other 1% being random outliers or situational buys

but Gunblade is not only a more popular pick, its also a 1st buy on Ahri, Katarina, LeBlanc and most toxicly Akali. I remember when LB was toned down so she doesn't burst people in the window of 0.5 seconds, but being able to buy a 300 damage nuke that only keeps scaling with AP and also heals makes that mindset completely redundant

Gunblade should be lowered to the same numbers as the other Hextech items (i believe its 75-150 based on level) My only problem is just its raw damage

The others are AOE and provide utility. Gunblade is just raw damage to a single target

The other hextech items are AoE and utility, vs a single target hit + slow.

The only reason its a first buy for the ones you mentioned is because AP assasins benifit a lot from stickiness, and the healing is nice to 1v1 with.
