Don't remove Duskblade or anything, rework it.

I realize that champs that build Duskblade like Talon, Quinn, Wukong, etc. are strong right now and Duskblade is very unfun to play against. It just gives straight up burst, how interesting. But I think if it was straight up removed, AD assassins would be gutted, as their core item would no longer exist.

I think Riot should do something to give Duskblade a passive that helps AD assassins in some way, and is interactive at the same time. I'm not sure what Riot can do to achieve this, but they surely can make something much better than what they have now.

(If it means anything, this is from a Talon main.)

You realize how bad of a problem an item is when it will gut an entire class in the game with it's removal, right? If a class is balanced around having a specific item in their inventory, that speaks volumes about the unhealthiness of the item in the game.

Exactly. That's why it needs to be reworked to be less unhealthy.

And I'd also like to have a more fun to use item rather than "auto attack someone for half their health"

I think it needs to be removed. It's pretty much a duplicate of Yomuu's, so Yomuu's can definitely fill the holes that the removal of Duskblade would leave, plus it might actually allow for the Edge of Night to be used again.
