Items Shouldn't Be Allowed To Lifesteal Off Champions

When was this changed?

In the past items only used to allow you to lifesteal from minions and Jungle monsters.. These days however ADC's are full on face tanking fights with nothing more than a Blade of the Ruined King for lifesteal. It's pretty sad that at full build a Mortal Reminder does absolutely nothing to stop a DPS from healing when they only have 12% lifesteal. This change needs reverted. Maybe it's a bug who knows, but it was never allowed in the past and it still has no rhyme or reason behind why it exists now.

Obviously you never played in the past then since that has never been the case. At least not since season 1.

If you want to remove the ability to life steal from certain targets, then those targets should be minions as that makes much more sense. To heal from champions, you have to be in combat with them, which is way more risky than fighting with minions and that risk should be rewarded. Life steal doesn't exist so you can heal back up after you leave combat (although it can definitely be used for that). It exists to help you sustain in a fight so you can fight longer.

Life steal has a lot of counters to it like thornmail, ignite and morellonomicon. Life steal also doesn't help at all against burst damage so it can be completely useless at times. Not to mention the life steal isn't as strong as you claim it is.

When was this? You thinking of spirit stone's passive? Life steal has always worked on everything.
