Why does duskblade give 3 more lethality than the other 2 Lethality Items?

Edge of night and Youmou's ghostblade both give 18 lethality which is a lot in its own right. 21 just seems excessive coupled with the 0 sec cooldown passive duskblade has, making 1 shots that much easier. The item is mandatory to rush on every ad assassin in the game; heck even miss fortune builds it. The fact that the passive lasts for 5 seconds after being seen is absurd as well. Nothing shouts assassin like walking up to you in full vision just to 1 shot you. Riot needs to change this item to address the problems item 3147 brings to the game. It does not make the rift a better place.

They buffed it's lethality when they nerfed it's (late) on hit damage, they gave some excuse that ad assassins (and MF) needed that 3 extra lethality so they are able to deal meaningful damage with their combos not just auto people to death. Right idea but it didn't need a buff to lethality as lethality is too high at the moment anyway.

In reality, they can't nerf without buffing nowadays. :P
