I Seeee.....

Well yes, that is a very good item on Draven then.

Riot said that it "probably" wouldn't be worth it on a marksman because it only gives AD and no attack speed or crit. And it's not as though I don't trust them but... I don't trust them.

If you say that a Zeal item gives a 70% increase to DPS on average, while buying this item instead will only give a 50% increase. It's not as though this makes the item worse on marksmen than the zeal item, no. In fact I'd put bursting down an enemy then fighting the rest of the 4v5 as way more useful than an additional 20% to your overall constant DPS.

It's basically got the same issues as Deathfire Grasp, champions were buying DFG just for the burst it gave even if they were barely building any more AP. Because there isn't any stat in the game more useful than one which lets you kill the enemy.

Draven is probably the best example of a Marksman who will build Duskblade because of his extreme reliance on killing and his complete un-reliance on attack speed. It gives him huge amounts of raw AD, and Armor Pen too. Slap some crit from an Essense Reaver and an Infinity Edge on him an that's basically all he needs as core. Attack Speed and Crit from a Rapid Firecannon or Phantom Dancer is considered a luxury rather than a core.
