All these duskblade nerfs and assassin tune downs are dumb explanation/the nerfs counter skill
The amount of nerfs to duskblade is disgustingly degrading the assassin role, for what? some random low elo players can't stand getting one shotted when out of position and without wards? No this is just a noob buff. No doubt if you ward properly and play safe enough the assassin won't be able to catch you off with duskblade. These are things low elo players don't understand, Riot's change team i assume none are over plat elo so they don't actually grasp these high elo fundamentals and counter play availability. buffing people not positioning well is bad design.
old duskblade: 360 damage current duskblade: 150 damage
seeing these numbers you haven't taken into counterplay at all riot since this item only works on targets out of position. Buffing things for silver elo is not going to better the game but destroy it eventually.
So yes duskblade has COUNTERPLAY, if you are to purchase a little ARMOR you will reduce its damage from 360 - 150s level so again this is buffing people who don't itemize properly or ward or position. Its like nerfing warmogs because it heals a lot out of combat.
I think the ward mechanic is totally random and should be removed and the original damage restored, the support is supposed clear wards not assassins. High elo players don't like this weaker duskblade, _its weak and shouldn't be weaker than HEXTECH GUNBLADE active(which is also instant and deals 270 dmg base) _
you have to accept that most players are silver and they will give you bad decisions, I am master in LAN server currently but that's not what my threads about.

on top of it. And regardless of low elo being bad at the game League of burst is shit tier League, you might as well give everyone in the game old Veigar's ult and be done with.
