Isn't it obvious?
It's an assassin item
if it were melee only, 
wouldn't be able to use it
mandatory Kappa
most assassins are ability oriented, duskblade doesn't seem to activate on empowered autos as from what i can tell. when i would eq someone as 
not get the effect despite my Q technically being an auto.
Their argument was an adc probably won't have enough damage to make use of the passive anyways. Then they made Jhin...

There are exactly two ADC who build duskblade often, with only one of them being an issue.
Because 
builds that item ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° ) Comeon guys he can't have a cig and now he can't have a 
? not fair
when MF and Jhin auto's hurt more than a zed Q. they buy it so they can auto you twice and kill you with the passive.
just an opinion but, i think the mouvement speed on it is creating a lot of problems across the board in the aspect of items stacking and the variety of champions using it.
On a side not this is yet another thing the boards were horribly wrong on. When the item came out people cried it would break Zed, Talon, and Kha'zix. No mention of ADC's. Its funny to see people now wanting those types of champions to be building this item now.
to be fair, a lot of adcs builds it, only very auto oriented adcs dont. I really think its dumb tbh.
But they mostly build it for the mouvement speed it gived. heck you could dodge the boots practically with all the mouvement speed in the items nowadays.
What if there is a ranged ad assassin in the future ?
A Rioter (forgot which one) mentioned somewhere that they will be looking at changes for soon, possibly for the Assassin update, and one of the ideas on the table is to make it melee only. It kind of goes back on the whole "we want to not make items melee/ranged specific anymore" thing they were talking about years ago, but I'm not complaining. Honestly there are just some items that should be available to every champ and some that shouldn't.
Because it should be able to use this item on every champion.
They said if ADC's starting using it they would make it melee only, but they still haven't done it and Jhin and sometimes MF build this item a lot
