What if we nerfed duskbade and buffs talon and zed

It's pretty fucking stupid that the game has 2 reap AD assassin's with the exception of shadow Kayn and duskbade is built by litteraly almost every ad champion.

The fact that you're trying to tie duskblade directly to talon and zed is just silly especially considering duskblade is a jungler's item. No need to buff your 2 favorite ad champs... They're plenty strong, they already nerfed duskblade btw it used to do true damage.

I haven't played either of those champions a day in my life. And I seriously doubt an assassin item is meant for junglers

W-what?

Firstly, It's not solely a jungler item. It was literally designed for ALL AD Assassins. Zed, Talon, Rengar, and Kha'Zix, now Shadow Assassin Kayn. The Blackout passive helps them roam. The removal and discovery of wards helps deny the enemy target vision of you, and it also helps retain your DBlade passive until you finally engage on your enemy. It can work in the jungle exceptionally, but it was never designed for the jungle alone.

Secondly, they're not plenty strong. A lack of resistances helps them burst more I'll concede that, but that's where the Stopwatch meta comes in. Denying an assassin early kills puts them behind. Then, as the rest of the enemy team gets their items, an assassin is essentially a splitpush minion.

Thirdly, they didn't nerf Duskblade. They reworked it and indirectly buffed it by giving physical damage. An assassin's job is to burst squishies. TDamage didn't really help with that. It was pretty useless in the grand scheme of things-- not to mention the fact that it worked off your enemy's level and not yours. There's a reason people have been referring to DBlade as overtuned and/or busted since the rework. It's because that extra physical damage was added (and then hotfixed), and people are still complaining about it.
