Remove Duskblade
This isn't going to be a giant rant post cuz I got beat in a game, this is legit just from a player who's played since the original armor pen was in the game. Duskblade simply needs removed, it has been the sole cause of every issue with pen/lethality since it was added. The idea of giving anyone who uses it free damage (or the original free Zed ult) is bad game design. If you removed this, and added another armor pen item that added some bonus that wasn't just "do more damage next auto ig" then the issues with lethality would be a lot less noticeable. And as someone else said, they could use this to buff the current Lethality items we have. I just am sick of seeing lethality have issues cuz of one item, Duskblade was the ENTIRE reason why Pen was removed.
Seriously, can Riot stop introducing or reworking items and then fucking people over? They did it with Banner too, Banner never was OP or had any issues. But they reworked it, made it too strong, then were just like "yea its been too op for too long, bye bye". I digress, Duskblade causes too many issues for champions due to it's faulty design and removing it and replacing it with a new option would be a lot better. They could also do this and just remove lethality altogether, reverting it back to the old style of having armor pen.
As for what item could possibly replace duskblade, I honestly don't know. Maybe it would be fine if they just buffed pen back to the way it used to be. They could maybe even add pen back to BC, make it melee only, then release an alternative for ADC's. Either way would be fine with me, I'm just sick of a system being broken cause of one item and Riot not fixing that ONE item.
first again.
