Duskblade change idea

currently duskblade is the only item that is causing issues amoung the lethality items due to how its passive works

my suggestion is this

change the passive to have a CD based on level

example

duskblade bonus damage can only proc 1s every 45-2Xlvl seconds on a specific champion

so at lvl 1 it would have a 43 second CD

at level 18 it would have a 9 second CD

make the proc champion specific so a kha-zix could use it, stealth then use it on another champion, but he cannot use it on the same champion constantly for absurd burst damage

this 1 change would fix the item in terms of its damage output on a single target while still maintaining a use in team fights and assassinations

That would make it terrible and completely remove the point of it resetting when the stealth assassins it's designed for are using it.

At best only make it reset when a champion actually goes into stealth or invisibility so it would still be useful in assassination and not as a walk out of sight nuke but a cd would be the worst thing you could ever do to it.

Duskblade has to be over-tuned to make some of the current ad assassins work because riot can't buff their kits directly without sending the lower elo community into a screaming chaos

if a champion needs to proc its effect multiple times on a champion to be able to assassinate someone then they should not be assassinating them out right

the proc is supposedto help them kill someone, not be a 50% damage increase

the item proc should never be dealing 50% of someones total hp at any point of the game, yet kha can proc is 4 times on a champion in about 5-6 seconds for 1280 bonus physical damage at lvl 18, and many of the squishier targets like adc, supports (non tank), and mages barely get close to 2500 hp at level 18, the change im suggesting would make the item more fair for all designed assassins and leave room to buff it more in other ways

for example if it went to the 9 second CD at lvl 18 per champion on its proc it could gain a little more base damage, example instead of the 65-320 (going off this websites item info) it could be 75-400 AND causes the target to be vulnerable for 3 seconds

vulnerable targets are 30% weaker to your lethality for 3 seconds (meaning all your total lethality is more effective on them for 3 seconds

so in effect if you have item 3147 + any other source of lethality would be 130% effectiveness instead of 100%, this would in turn let duskblade still offer its burst damage, but keep its effective damage more in the champions abilities which would be more effective due to higher lethality effectiveness for the 3 seconds after procing duskblades effect

AND this offers the counterplay option of CCing the assassin as he jumped his target and making him lose out of that damage bonus instead of him just reprocing the item instantly and recking some more, makes escapeming the assassin more rewarding even if its a temporaty escape, makes dodging his abilitires more rewarding.

this would make it more of a skill factor than a right click and win factor after going out of vision for a second, effectively reopening outplay potential and making it more fair, while still providing the function the item is meant to have
