I hate outdated items that only have a purpose of ruining one champ

I am speaking of item 3123 . This item is non-existent (in at least the games I play in) except when I play 1, only 1, champion. That champion being Swain . Since AD damage is guaranteed in every game, you are going to see this item if you play swain. The 3 second duration of grievous wounds, especially since its easy as hell to refresh, guarantees every teamfight, swains healing is going to be almost cut in half. People say, buy item 3065 , which does help but there goes a damage slot. I also believe that a damage item is 100x more important than a tank item in today's meta. In addition, this item is never upgraded. It is just sold end-game if the game reaches that far. Since I never face AP top and I go swain top, I'm guaranteed to see it there. The only safe time is facing another AP type mid-lane until that phase is done. Jungles will even buy it. I just wish Riot would remember "old stuff" and maybe make refreshers. I notion the idea that every champ and every item had a purpose in mass-majority of situations.

Also, LOL. item 3065 is a core item on Swain, but you ditch it for more damage? Maybe that's why you're having so many problems. Not because of item 3123

Honestly, executioners can be good vs anyone with any form of healing, and there's always someone that will have some kind of healing on the enemy team, whether that be innate healing, or healing from abilities / items.

Executioner's gets used about 40% of games. That's nothing new. And there are plenty of self healers who use Spirit Visage.

item 3123 is a niche item that serves the purpose it's meant to, but honestly I think it would be a lot better if it wasn't for the fact that the only item it builds into is item 3033.

While item 3123 and item 3033 hard counter sustain, in most tank metas, item 3036 is just flat out better. The most often I see item 3123 really is against REALLY hard sustain ( Vladimir /Swain ) or against teams like Draven Akali Janna Olaf Aatrox who all have or provide some sort of strong sustain or abuse item 3072 item 3812 item 3146, which makes item 3033 the better option. I really feel like there's too big an imbalance in power between item 3033 and item 3036, which shouldn't be the case IMO given item 3153 exists.
