Before I could just stack about 350-400 armor and thornmail would do the work while I dove them. Now its like the ADC doesn't even feel the damage and can just shoot at me all day with no remorse and I die way faster and do way less. Trying to figure out a new build to help build 'tanky' vs the current meta. I'm not concerned with the thornmail calculations as a malphite/sion main I know the items been nerfed to shit and spreadsheets aren't really going to do anything about it. Its just a bad item now. So what other items can we move onto to stop the adcs?

well new item 3075 doesn't damage that much anymore, but it shouldn't do.

the idea of punishing ADCs who do their job right by attacking by letting them hurt themselves is flawed anyway.

but the point of the new Thornmail is that ADCs can't draintank off you that easily and get instantly full life again. so if you (or your team) actually manage to get the enemy ADC low, they can't simply heal themself up again quickly on you. they either have to seek and attack another target, back off, or take the risk of needing a few more autos until they healed back up, which could also cause them to die in the end.

that's the whole point of the new Thornmail.
