Cursed Blade is running too rampant - *Please Nerf!*
Riot please can you nerf Cursed Blade?
Since the latest patch, CB has been taking over the meta. With the buffs and fixes to Gunslingers, it has been unstoppable. Even without Gunslingers, players are chucking CB on a single ranged champ in the back, and unless you've gone full assassin, and somehow manage to get to them, then you're toast.
On one side you have a player who has probably econned well, managed to two or three star some units, and generally played consistently to progress. And on the other hand, you have a player who has managed to RNG items to make a CB and slapped it on a unit. Often there is no thought to the synergy or team comp. While it is so dominant, the game is basically letting luck decide who wins.
It is too effective. I'm currently Gold in both League and TFT. I'm not a 'bad' player. The games where you are versing one, or more, team comps with one or more CBs is an insta-loss. Additionally, unless you int, or get lucky with minion rounds, then you're hardly likely to pick up a recurve bow, meaning that you'll be behind with items to make one.
Guinsoo's was the 'chase' item, but it felt fair. It took a while to start up and a good assassin could at least get close to killing the unit, if not actually killing it. But with CB, a single hit usually is enough to drop the unit a star, making them deal hardly any damage, and allowing them to get un-starred to the ground.
I feel that a lot of players will feel like me. An item should not be one where you either have it, or you lose if someone else has one. Please balance it or nerf!
