Yeah.
Something I didn't know: Cursed Blade can STACK. I just had:
-3 Star Darius -3 Star Garen -3 Star Vayne
-8 man team
A single Tristana on a 4 Gunslinger team beat me. Why?
Her friggin Cursed blade reduced both Garen and Darius to ZERO stars in the first 4 seconds of the fight! In 5 consecutive fights!
My Katarina was killing her 50% of the time, but omfg....
Cursed Blade STACKS?
This needs fixed. That's too damn powerful.
BestPudgeNA4 votesThe sad part is they're nerfing Trist and not cursed blade. Like they just don't have any clue how their own game works...
The Spawn Man2 votesLol I just posted a "Nerf CB" thread. I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels it is too powerful.
Illabethe1 votesI didn't mind when I thought it was a single star reduction on high proc. But something's wrong since the last patch where it now is seeing a champ it's already reduced as not having been reduced and reduces them further.... or something like that.
I watched Darius go form 3 to 0 in about half a second in early match (before Guinsoo's stacked) because each gunslinger attack hits twice.

This statement makes it sound like you think it's bugged. I don't think it is, I believe it was intended. But the proc chance is way higher than it should be, the tooltip says "low chance" but it goes off very frequently each battle unless the wearer is deleted immediately.
On-hits in general are pretty broken with no way to build against the effects, hopefully they add in some immunity items or something down the line.
Illabethe1 votesYou think reducing 3 stars to 0 stars is "intended?"
hrooza dota 4 votesbased on riot yes.
Sire Hippington3 voteswe're talking about riot here, so yes
Autrah Fang2 votesYou think reducing 3 stars to 0 stars is "intended?"
It was specifically listed in their 9.14 TFT patch notes that they intentionally made this change, "Cursed Blade can now reduce a target to 0 stars." So yes, it is intended. I do not hold an opinion on whether the change should have been made, but it is quite obviously intended. There should be no contention around this.
Although, when I read that patch note I thought it would scale 1 star down at a time, but I guess the change made it to where one proc reduces it to 0 outright? (Edit: now that I think about it, that's probably the "unintended" part you were talking about. If that is, disregard this comment I guess)
Illabethe1 votesYou're misreading/interpreting.
I'm saying that it can reduce a 3 star to a 0 star.
The patch notes were just about being able to reduce below 1 star (it used to stop at 1 star).

I figured I was misinterpreting what you were saying after I thought about your replies more. At first, I thought you were simply complaining about it stacking into a 0 star, but a few minutes after my I made my comment I realized you likely meant it was reducing by 3 star > 0 star in 1 proc outright, rather than it reducing to 2 star > 1 star > 0 star in separate procs. That's what my edit was trying to say XD
Apologies for the misinterpretation :)
Z3SIeeper1 votes"Chance to reduce by 1 star on hit" kinda implies each hit has a chance to do so regardless of whether they've been reduced or not.
It shouldn't be that way imo, but it currently is.
hrooza dota 2 voteswhile i agree its op , it is not bugged atm, in fact it was bugged last patch as it return the champion to his older star sometimes [ aka if it proc on a 3 star vayne twice it turn her into 2 star vayne and then into 3 star vayne again sometimes in an endless loop and vayne never die]
RalinAura1 votesYeah I remember seeing that, and what I thought was... That instead of a second proc reverting them to the higher level, I thought that it was just a temporary effect. Which I think would possibly be a decent way to balance it, I still think it procs too often, but if each proc only lasted for 5-10 seconds, then it might not seem quite so OP.
hrooza dota 2 votesthe problem with this level reset is they get their hp back for some reason
i watched a 0 defense vayne not dying for 10+ seconds because each time she get the star back her hp go back up, the item was pretty much a way to hinder your self.
i think current effect is fine, just the chance could be lowered.
iainB852 votesItem just needs to be removed or completely reworked. So far it has too low of a chance to go off to ever worth being combined, or now it's ridiculous when it has a decent chance to proc. I also think having it not stack would again make it not worth combining unless you had no other option again. Just a crap design item.
Call Me Nana2 votesit does say 'Attacks have a 20% chance to Reduce enemy's star level by 1'
though it doesn't mention if it stops at 1 stack.
try using a cursed blade shojin lucian- you can drop a play by two stars by just using his spell.
VelvetNyan1 voteslol, i mean almost everything in this game seems to stack, so idk why this wouldnt
Finders Keepers2 votesKnown forever now? https://www.nerfplz.com/2019/07/cursed-blade-gunslingers-for-ranked.html
ShadWooo1 votesCursed Blade is not so overpowered itself, however with gunslingers (and)or hurricane it is extremely broken since it now works on the onhits and additional attacks. Another unit which can abuse it really well is Pyke as he is switching targets frequently during match and also Lucian since I believe it works on his onhit spell.
Imo the item should never reduce stars on more than one living champion per item instance.
Marshbouy1 votesYeah I'm abusing the fuck out of CB on lucian or volibear. It's mad OP.
Sire Hippington1 votesImo the AS+MR option should be changed into 
, either as the old version with mr-steal or the current with on-hit damage/heal(though the heal would need to be on-attack to not be abused by gunslingers), cause Cursed Blade will always be an issue, either it procs reliably and is way to strong on anyone that can apply on-hit to multiple targets, or it doesn't and becomes as usless as SotD.
Overall, i feel all of the proc chance effects on items are problematic for balanceing champs that apply on-hit on multiple targets. (near)Permasilence on multiple targets or disarm are just as bad.
0megon1 votesIsn't it bugged? Maybe it might be confirmation bias on my side but it always seems like the first reduction actually has the 20% chance to reduce it but once it gets reduced for first time every consecutive hit reduces it further.
Toolmaker1 votesYou got really unlucky with the rng man, but the fight also probably lasted too long cause you probably had imperial noble or something, and it doesn't do as much damage as ninja assassins cause you need to get multiple ults off, and vayne is a trash unit.
Illabethe1 votesYou underestimate the comp. I was winning rounds in 5 seconds or less.
These rounds however were lasting 7-8 soley because even after 3 star demotions, Garen/Darius weren't dead and still needed killed to get past them.
KammyPlatinum1 votesThats not broken my friend team of 7 assassins his akali one shoted my whole team with her ability for 14k dmg now that's the definition of insanity
Illabethe2 votesThat akali must have been 3 star. If she did that, and the other team had cursed Blade, she wouldn't have even gotten her skill off....
KammyPlatinum1 votesno she was 2 star with 3 items with assassin buff
ILOVETFTRNG1 votesSo let me see
itsXylon1 votes"attacks on hit have a low chance"
I REPEAT
low chance = 100% of the time...
