Riot botched patch 7.14

Seriously, what was balance team thinking. Duskblade is more busted than when Riot said it was too strong with "Zed-like" passive. 300 BONUS dmg at lvl 13 on an item that costs 2900. its the new Deathfire Grasp but for ads. like you have 5 seconds to proc, and if you had 200 ad, you essentially get 500 dmg on an auto attack. AND IT HAS NO COOLDOWN. I haven't tried new thornmail or singed yet but they are pretty busted/too strong too. They made marksman essentially useless 90% of the time. Unless it is late game (30+min with good peel; and sometimes games don't last that long) or to get through tanks, they seem more hinder than help. A least it might shake up meta of always needing marksman and might see cool combo bottom lanes. And Kayn is really strong but tbh that's fine; all new champs are usually strong and nerfed after people get use to them or figure them out. But duskblade NEEDS a nerf badly.

I'm not worried about the item on AD assassins because AD assassins have been through so much shit with locket and all that. I am worried about lethality being built on other champions like ADCs again. Which would be another step back for tank balance.

The idea is that it scales with level and hopefully ADs won't be picking up a lot of levels.

outside of singed's unfair hotfixing, this is one of the best patches in a while

Marksmen have been dominant for a while, it's a good thing that their counters are now more effective.

And judging from your match history, you don't even play marksmen. Why are you upset that Assassins can finally put them in their place?
