Why is Duskblade getting buffed?

Niervana·Nov 8, 2019·7 votes·2,145 views

AD increased from 55 to 60 Lethality increased from 21 to 23 Lethality no longer unique passive Unique Passive Blackout removed

Do you really think the loss of the passive compensates for this buff? The game has never been so unbalanced and boring because of the extreme amount of damage and the first thing you think about is introducing more damage? I can't believe how incompetent this company is and I really hope it's a joke.

"Do you really think the ability to reveal and destroy wards is worth 220 gold in stats?"

Yes. Yes I do.

Considering wards is the only counterplay left to assassins. Yeah I’d say it’s worth 2-3k gold.

It does go on cooldown.
Every laner should be taking support items in Season 10. If they don't they aren't maximizing their potential to carry. There's no longer anything gating any champ but jungle from having more wards.
There's more counterplay; Heals. Zhonya's. Juking. Hard CC. Learning Assassin positioning after using certain skills.
The new Lethality is going to add up to 10+ more, there's now an attack speed/life steal lethality item, and Lethality is literally replacing all AD builds on all types of champions as we speak; particularly adcs..... because Lethality and its secondary stats now are more favorable than crit builds.

Ummmmm I don't think you understand the change or assassins.

duskblades most valuable quality is getting removed. that's a big deal and its going to effect assassin viability in higher levels of play.

might not be healthy for extremely low tiers of gameplay, but who cares about silver-iron? 50% WR algorithm carries them all into Gold+ anyways.

Im not sure, but im pretty sure Lethality isn't gonna have the same scaling as before, and even then its not 1 to 1 as old armor pen. Also a +2 to its leth would probably mean a extra 1 armor it ignores, maybe even less than that.
