Sword of the Divine could be revived as an assassin item.

Sword of the Divine

We have very few items for AD assassins. Duskblade, Ghostblade... uh... Edge of Night and Black Cleaver? They could use another item. Sword of the Divine is a burst item in design - you activate it and it gives you 3 quick and devastating basic attacks. Like Hail of Blades but with crits. With some tweaks to the design, it would be a nice option.

Stats

  • 10-20 Lethality

  • 50 AD

  • 5% Movement speed

Active: Your next 2 basic attacks have 100% increased attack speed and deal X bonus physical damage. 40 seconds cooldown.

The active would deal more total damage than Duskblade's proc, but it'd be fair since it takes more time to deliver the damage and can't be reset by going into stealth. I changed it from crits to flat physical damage because I want this item to synergize with lethality, not Infinity Edge. I also took away the passive attack speed because that's not really a desirable stat on these champions.

God please no. Assassins don’t need more help doing their job and being unpublishable for it.

I'd rather see assassins start being about something other than exclusively "do as much damage as possible in as little time as possible". Surely there is some unexplored design space we can give to assassins in addition to lots of burst.

the game has already tons of damage. no need to bloat it more with items that does more damage

More lethality has no place in this game.

Assassins already get the royal treatment from Riot. They dominate midlane with little to no opposition and then become mid game hyper carries that decimate entire teams with little to no effort and 50 million ways to escape unpunished should it go bad.

The last thing Assassins need is more items, more damage, more anything.
