i think people are over reacting to the elimination of grievous wounds

Ignite will probably be enough.

Alright, honestly, how often do people actually pick a champ like miss fortune or old tristana BECAUSE they have GW

like, THAT'S the reason you chose them?

NEVER. This NEVER happens. Maybe once in a blue moon they'll pick mundo and someone will be like "yo they got mundo somebody pick MF." These games have eons between them, even when the situation presents itself.

Nope, it's not a key reason. It was very strong in S4, when BT was first item. It allowed her to cut the lifesteal, thus, made her a stronger duelist. A lot of people don't complain about mf in particular, but the lack of grievous wounds in general. MF is / will not be picked a lot anyway, she doesn't get any substantial changes. Same for Gp, he loses his insane MS for some AoE damages.

The MS boost moved to his passive, so it's still there. Just fyi :p

He have to AA. He can't catch people. But he will be more sticky.

I ain't saying it's bad, it's just different. He is countered hard by ranged now. They can easily detonate his barrels, and kite him.

The problem with removing GW from MF is that it takes away one of the fed edges she had against other ADC's. MF is a nearly generic champ. She doesnt have near as many tools or any kind of unique angle compared to other adc's. That Grievous wounds in a duel often makes the difference between winning or losing. Taking it away just drops her a tiny bit further from viability. She is rarely played anymore, and thats because she doesnt really DO anything compared to other adc's.

As far as non MF, there are a number of situations where it is needed. A kind of fed Vlad or Aatrox, Mundo or swain, Chogath. All champs who can get healing as hell, and there are no tools to deal with them anymore. And thats not even the full roster of champs or situations where reducing healing could save your teams ass.

The point is there is a feature in the game "healing/lifesteal" that is becoming less and less counterable as options get removed.
