Duskblade is supposed to be night/lack of vision-themed but its just damage

This item has so much potential but nope its just a braindead +150 damage on top of your assassin combo that already overkilled the target by 600 hp anyway.

What if we reworked it to actually be something that involves the "night" and "lack of vision" theme instead of just braindead extra burst?

For example:

item 3147

Duskblade of Draktharr; 2900 gold

+55 AD +10% CDR +15 lethality

Passive: After leaving enemy vision for 8 seconds, your next auto attack (ends after 2.5 seconds) leaves the enemy unable to see for the next 0.75 (+0.01 per point of lethality) seconds.

Would be more interactive and strategic than just "hehe xd i missed all my skillshots but heres a 1.2k damage kha Q". For example, do you want to open the fight by collapsing on the enemy carry, or do you want to blind the enemy lulu to stop her from peeling for her team? Or do you want to blind the enemy malphite and force him to guess where he has to use his ult?

So much skill expression and strategy could he shown with this new passive, while the current one is just braindead burst (which btw nobody wants in the game.)

that would need to be an active with a huge cooldown. plus that would be so frustrating to play against.

I really like that idea.

With all the other damage threats in the game sadly they can't take away duskblades damage. They dug a grave and it's going to take mass nerfing damage to get out of it.

Does it get to keep the anti-vision passive?

I'm a bit biased, but it's especially useful if you roam a lot and get AD from ward takedowns (especially nice on Pyke, if you roam a lot).

I love this idea.

It's finally a realistic way to reduce the amount of damage, without flatly reducing damage numbers. The vision effect might have to be increased a touch because Tenacity exists

how about Assassins mages?

The problem isn't in duskblade only.

Edit: i don't wanna see the whole game only Mages, i hate Mages Assassins Or Mages over all AP AP AP CC CC CC 1HIT 1HIT 1HIT im don't agree with you here, If duskblade need a nerf, everyone else need a nerf too.

what if you could drop a ward when an assassin engages so it deactivates duskblade damage

More like "hehe I'm wukong and am 0/3 top lane. Oops I bought duskblade and now kill the other fed top laner"

I like that rework idea, but I actually think that's still a little too easy to use for the assassin.

The thing that makes Ghostblade and Edge interesting is that you have to think about when to use them. If you want to play something high skillcap like an assassin, you should have to think about what you're doing.
