Thornmail [Rework Concept]

Stacona··1 votes·172 views

With Life Steal and Sustain getting nerfed, Thornmail is getting a little bit too strong lately. With this idea Thornmail will be focused on still being the high tier armor item, but the passive will focus on suffocating basic attackers' healing rather than directly doing damage return. Thornmail will gain a damage active that deals damage based on how much damage the user took from basic attacks up to a cap amount.


Thornmail:

Recipe: Warden's Mail (1000g) + Chain Vest (720g) + Cloth Armor (300g) + 980g = 3000g

Statistics: +120 Armor +UNIQUE Passive - Cold Steel: Basic attackers lose 15% Attack Speed for 1 second. +UNIQUE Passive - Thorns: Basic attackers apply grievous wounds to themselves for 1.5 seconds. Minions and Monsters that attack take 50 true damage. +UNIQUE Active: Store 25% of the damage basic attacks dealt to deal 50-300 true damage to target enemy champion based on how much damage was stored. 60 seconds cooldown. Enemy basic attacks lower the cooldown by 2 seconds.

This would be a must rush on literally every tank and make dealing with any tank as a tank or a non tank nearly impossible.

It wouldn't be a rush item, because there is Randuins and Frozen Heart - it just no longer passively deals damage, the user now has to consciously attack someone with thornmail - also it will take a very long time for a tank to stack the damage to 300 for a tank on tank fight- and even then it is only 300 damage, tank would have done more with their abilities or sunfire cape by then

it is more like the grievous wounds options for tanks, like morellos [and executioner's which needs an upgrade tier to the line]

No rework is needed. It is not over powered considering ADCs have access to last whisper and blood thirster.
