Cursed Blade can reduce FOUR levels?!

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.

The sad part is they're nerfing Trist and not cursed blade. Like they just don't have any clue how their own game works...

Item 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.

Lol I just posted a "Nerf CB" thread. I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels it is too powerful.

it 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.

So let me see

  • Obnoxious Demons that drain your mana and literally rends you semi-useless.
  • Glacials that freez you the entire lenght of the match. And they decided to add items that shrink your characters level to 0 ... that item has to be removed, it kills the process of taking your time to think which of the characters you want to make stronger. It kills the core mechanic of the game.

"attacks on hit have a low chance"

I REPEAT

low chance = 100% of the time...

Isn'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.

Cursed 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.

You 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.

Thats 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

Yeah I'm abusing the fuck out of CB on lucian or volibear. It's mad OP.

Imo the AS+MR option should be changed into item 3091 , 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.
