Zed + Duskblade = OP?

Duskblade basically adds a Zed ult to an auto attack and with QSS not being alble to remove debuffs, I see a new trend in ZED players. They are all rushing .

What worst is this item increase how effectively reliable ZED is in killing his target. I say this because he does not need to land as many Qs as before, just 1 or 2 AA and the pop damage from his ult and duskzblade is devastating.

I feel like the nerfs to ZED on the PBE are not enough, because with this item, Zed requires even less skill and is more effective.

i rarely see duskblade being a first item rush on zed, sure its great. but zed much prefers his 6 item build much much sooner.

item 1036 and whatever he can build from those.

And now we take a fascinating look into a zed player's mind:

'six sword build rush hexdrinker move onto duskblade gg'

I don't really care much about the item. But does it not bother anyone that Dusk Blade gives movement speed when you have to pay NO GOLD for it in the build path. Meaning not only the slight addition AD bonuses are added but more move speed too...

Zed plus item 3147 might be good but Zed plus anything is good. Zed op no matter what.

The release of item 3147 created so much turmoil it was embarassing. The item isn't even that good. Sure, it synergizes with Zed and all, but actual active from it is not that relevant on squishies, as zed can easily execute them without the item in the first place, given he knows what he is doing.

proof is: the item isn't even that popular.

No people dont realize just how powerful the synergy is between dusk and zed. That item basically gives him a baby ult to come right after the father ult. So riot gave zed a son named duskblade... like father Zed like son item 3147 .

I prefer Jayce item 3147

It isn't very good IMO, running Botrk or Ghostblade is so much better.

You don't get the passive proc because smart zeds kill them before it goes off any way.

Poke champions like Jayce and Varus benefit more from Duskblade than Zed and Talon who are better with straight crit for instagibs. I got S+ some days ago with crit Talon. E+Q = deleted, no need for W or R.
