It's really annoying how whenever Lethality is good for AD Assassins

It's not even a lethality issue Duskblade is just fucking retarded on anything and anyone

Honestly the main problem is riot needs to put a leash onto the adc or shoot their knee with an arrow yet refuse to do it or even comment on it despite how prevalent the problem has been for several patches.

Problem one: lethality is always better on ranged, solution have diminishing returns for ranged champions, the more range you have the less lethality benefits you.

Problem two: ADC have access to far too many defensive tools that are also super offensive, and the solution here is to tweak deaths dance with a ranged penalty, make some small adjustments for phantom dancer, tweak GA health scalings or lower the damage it provides.

problem three: Crit needs a look at in general as it was designed for a game that no longer exists yet still exists without changes to its interaction with lifesteal or giving it a trade off of some sort.

Riot games and their we want lethality on ranged champions crusade.

Lethality is fine, duskblade in specific is not.

Although the problem lies that ranged assassins do exist and they benefit very well from the items... but so does everyone else.

Honestly ready for Riot to just say fuck it to lethality and bring back flat armor penetration. Like you didn't get all these powerful extra effects and other silly shit like shields and slows with massive tacked on damage and whatnaught, you had youmuus which gave you the movement speed and pretty much everything else dedicated to armor pen just gave you the raw stats you paid for and maybe some CDR here and there.

ez fix nerf ranged scrubbos

I've seen plenty of range champions take it, have yet to see them win a game. Saw ezeral build lethality, most underwhelming thing i've seen. Plus I really on saw him build it today. Other than them, no other ranged champion I've seen has build it. Have yet to see a graves or quin be picked or build it.

What I will say, melee have done it and absolutely ruined my dreams. Looking at you

Also it's really only duskblade.

I mean its always used by ranged attack damage casters because assassin items are designed to be used by attack damage casters. Meaning whenever a new lethality item is designed for assassins. It is guaranteed to be used by anyone with a similar class to them.

Dont get why they dont just make duskblade melee only its for ad melee assassin so it shouldnt be used on ppl like graves,quinn, jihn, mf, ive even seen lucian build it

It'd because riot half assed an "assassin" stat, instead making it a single secondary stat with a wide breadth of influence, rather than a narrow specific stat like crit.

They could just make lethality apply to spells, and you'd basically never see the abuse from marksmen, but you'd still likely see it from fighters, because simply a secondary stat, when you've got so many classes stacked into the same core stat (AD) is going to be abused by many of them.
