Duskblade needs that nerf

I, for one, find it disgusting that we let a single Duskblade user into the top 20 midlaners with a 2% pickrate.

It needs nerfs obviously so mages can be viable because clearly they are struggling and so ADCs can burst higher than assassins again. I find it disgusting that there is even a viable Duskblade user jungle and even a viable top laner that uses the item. Please destroy this item ASAP. I feel as though these Duskblade nerfs will help secure some sweet Twitch #LC$BIGPLAYZ of him melting entire teams with nothing to stop him. I can only pray that such awesomeness translates into my soloQ games. I've decided to start maining lane Lulu to help assist my ADC overlords even further. Can anyone link me a guide for jungle Janna please? Praise be unto the ADC overlords. In the name of the IE, the PD, and the holy Shiv. Amen.

But muhhh AP mages are so weak bro /s

I even read on these dumb boards people complaining that Zhonyas is too weak of an item LMAO. AT this point I just come here for laughs, I don't take 99% of this bs seriously.

Meddler said they're nerfing it so they have more room to buff its users without being a 'required' item, as he said in a comment on yesterday's gameplay thoughts:

We feel Duskblade's got too much power in it relative to its users kits. That means it's a really large power spike in a way that's more homogeneous than power that's more unique to each champion. We've been doing a bit of work on some of its core intended users recently (Talon, Zed, Rengar) and nerfing it potentially allows us to do more of that rather than being blocked by Duskblade's state.
