Why is every single Duskblade compensation a nerf?

Wasn't the idea to nerf Duskblade so you could add power directly back to their kits? Instead we got:

MonkeyKing .8 AD per level. From 3.2 to 4 Wut? 14 AD at level 18? Even MF gets a full 1 AD per level? Can't even have as much as the ranged carry? For that he gives up 240 damage on his combo plus an even further gimped early game? A champion that is notorious for his dogshit early game is getting compensated with a scaling stat that still results in a damage nerf anyway? It's even base AD so it doesn't even apply to his E.

Kayn gets 25 base damage plus an extra .15 ratio on his ult. Let's see. That means you only have to have like.......... 1400 AD to make up for losing that 240 damage. Seems reasonable. Oh, and zero compensation for every time you fight without your ult.

Talon an extra .1 bonus AD ratio only on the return of his rake. Well you only need 2400 bonus AD to make up the difference in his all in. Right. Got it. Seems fair.

MissFortune plus 1 AD per level. Hey! At least you got more than Wukong! Can't mess you up too badly before that legendary "ultimate" skin you have coming.

Quinn truly meme level "buff". Minus 3 AD at level 1. Gain .6 AD per level. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? You know what? I'm just gonna give you the benefit of a doubt and assume you're going to add something else. Please. (Edit: yes there is )

Zed an extra .1 bonus AD ratio on shuriken. Oh, and and extra .06 ratio on secondary damage. Even if you land a triple shuriken, you still lose damage on your all in. Huh?

Shaco ................. Nothing kappa

Are there more plans besides these changes? Because it seems like every single Duskblade user is getting nerfed with these changes. How is this supposed to help any of them with doing their job? Every single one of these champs will still build Duskblade every single game except they're just nerfed now. Legitimately every single one.

You might've already seen Repertoir's post, but just in case, have a link. It is more recent than this post, but maybe you can put the link at the top to redirect the readers there?

The man speaks sense... the dialect is foreign but it's definitely sense.

They did just add another thing for Wukong and honestly this one is quite substantial:

Crushing Blow (Q) bonus AD ratio increased from 10% at all ranks to 10/20/30/40/50%

pretty sure the idea was to nerf item 3147 because it's broken. these champs did fine before it was introduced and i don't recall them getting any massive nerfs due to reviving the most op item created in the past 7 years.

why the hell they are getting compensated at all is beyond me.

instead of compensation we should also spend time nerfing the champs these assassins are designed to be killing.. then they wouldn't need the damn thing in the first place.

i main an assassin..

the class that scares me most is adc (outside of champs above 3000 hp which i obviously cant burst down) guess what class is supposed to be my intended target...
