Currently when an enemy champion triggers Duskblade's passive and goes invisible it happens within a single frame as far as can be seen. Which ultimately leaves me feeling like a visual bug had occurred.
In one scenario where the team fighting was chaotic I wasn't sure whether my game had lagged and rubber-banded because a champion vanished without feedback. It cost me more time than necessary to check my ping and the flow of visual effects to make sure I was not in fact momentarily lagged out.
Champions that camouflage (Twitch's Ambush) or go invisible (Akali's Shroud) have visual feedback of when they shift into stealth OR a clear gameplay mechanic regarding their invisibility (E.g. if Akali is in her shroud you know she's invisible). Duskblade absolutely lacks either; even a small red blip (that lasts a fraction of a second) would go a long way in signalling the start of Duskblade's invisibility effect. Having a visual effect would also allow you to associate that occurrence of invisibility with the item itself without having to hit tab afterwards or if you forget to hit tab when they return to lane and kill your jungler that tried to gank for you for instance; mitigating another potential frustration.
I'm not sure where the most appropriate place to drop item feedback is so I've written this out here. I'll add that I did not play PBE during the time the item rework was made available for testing, and am fairly surprised it made it to live in its current state.
What are your thoughts on this particular frustration/convenience (from a certain perspective)?--especially if you're trying the new items out for the first time now.
