Duskblade of Draktharr will get power changes with tomorrow Patch 7.15 in League of Legends

Patch 7.15 arrives tomorrow, and it’s bringing a huge Nerf to the Dusk blade with it, according to the official patch notes.

The Buffs to the Dusk blade was monumental. For starters, there were some stats swapped around on the item that really helped it out. It was given cooldown reduction and more lethality, and in return its movement speed boost and a little bit of AD was removed. Oh, and the cost of the item was dropped from 3250 to 2900 gold.

All of that probably would have made the item great enough to entice AD assassins into more purchases, but that’s not where the buffs stopped. The Nightstalker proc was changed to deal flat physical damage scaling with your own level rather than double your lethality. That made the damage much more reliable, and for the cost reduction, that reliable damage is now very cost efficient. Not only was that, but a 99 percent micro slow added to the proc’s application as well.

It was all just a bit too much, and soon, everyone and their cousin began to build the Duskblade like they didn’t have a choice. Everyone has been calling for nerfs since the last patch went live, so it’s no wonder there’s a big one coming tomorrow. The micro slow will now only work if you’re a melee champion, and the Nightstalker proc’s damage is now much lower at late game levels.

Overall, this nerf doesn’t seem like it will be enough. The item’s early pressure is why it’s so oppressive, and it seems like lowering its late game damage isn’t going to solve anything.

Patch 7.15 will be available tomorrow when update your own game.
