Unfun to play against. Punishes me for auto attacking and creates really warped balance points in game. Makes certain duelists a little too strong. Not enough counterplay.

Could we get a few answers? Pls something other then build this and wait till you have enough gold.

The point of thornmail was to make it impossible for to drain tank someone stacking defenses by building offense and lifesteal.

So here is another way to accomplish the same thing without upsetting either side:

Every time you auto attack the thornmail wearer, you gain 1 thorn.

Thorns siphon healing from the target and send it to the thornmail wearer. 10% per thorn, stacking up to 5 times.

A person afflicted by thorns will lose 1 thorn everytime they auto attack a target other than the thornmail wearer from which the thorn originated. (Hurricane bolts do not cause you to lose a thorn)

If the person hasn't been in combat for 5 seconds, all the thorns will drop off.

If anything it just needs to nullify life steal.

Yea... no.. no item in league should nullify life steal.. That would counter 70% of the AD champions in the game.

Eat executioner's blade xD and mortal reminder. And morellonomicon. It does not counter 70% of AD champions in league in the slightest. They usually have way too much lifesteal to be honest....
