Save the Wards

So can riot remove that BS passive from duskblade already? Its very out of place there. Its just dont belong. There is no justification for it at all. It tells you for free if there is a ward or not. And from time to time it even reveals wards and traps and allows you to oneshot them. W H Y ? This is actually the most cancerous part of duskblade and not its dmg.

super late EDIT In mein humble opinion appropriate solution to this would be -Removal of oneshot vs disabled wards -Removal of indicator for remaining duration of UNIQUE – NIGHTSTALKER passive (bonus dmg after being unseen for 1 second that lasts for 5 seconds after entering enemy vision) So it will be harder to tell exactly when you wandered into enemy vision. -Removal of change from 7.21 patch

V7.21 NEW EFFECT: Pinging the item now tells your team whether you're currently unseen or not.

As compensation im personally fine with riot slapping some 10-15 dmg onto it.

To be honest i would prefer blackout passive to be gone completely but i might get stoned for saying that.

Dw, now when people destroy a ward with Duskblade, they also get an extra 30-90 damage on the Duskblade proc with Zombie Ward :]

iirc straight buff to domination tree for how many patches now? Riot loves assassin so much

I do feel like the one-shotting wards is a bit overbearing, as Duskblade is usually a first buy and an assassin can fairly safely and single-handedly clear out vision from a whole quadrant of the jungle with it, where I felt vision control used to be a more team oriented part of the game. I think I'd feel more okay with it if it two-shot wards instead of one-shot, but being a support main I am somewhat biased. Having your control wards get one-shot feels kinda bad =X

To be fair it originally made sense. It's just that it made sense back when every jungler could take green smite and wards were longer lasting and more readily available.

Now... not so much.

Wouldn't it be nice the there to be an ap version? I know it wouldn't happen because the ap ad itemization divide must be maintained, but it would still be nice...

item 3147 has a very weird vibe to me. While I understand the power fantasy and how this ties into stealth games, it seems made for a different season, specifically seasons 1-3. Where wards were abundant and without a cap. The cap on Wards per champion is why Oracle's Elixir was removed. An Oracle's Elixir would require the user to face check brush which could prove hazardous, yet Duskblade automatically procs on entering a trap or ward's vision; no need for unnecessary face checking.

Yes please or at least don't allow 1 shots

It is unique to melee champs

the purpose is so that assassins can sneak up on you.
