Why is Thornmail not available in Hexakill?

Faced a 4 ADC team and our tank couldn't counter it with Thorns because the item is normally forbidden in 3v3's, but why should it also be forbidden in 6v6?

no essence reaver either

Thornmail really should be a thing....that's just silly.

It was pretty stupid to deal with in 3v3. Tank items in general are better there because there are fewer people they need to tank so they're more effective by comparison.

I can't think of any reason Thornmail should be restricted in 3v3, either. But that's just me.

Part of why is that you have fewer target choices in 3v3, meaning Thornmail becomes nastier to deal with. If you're all physical and all three enemies get Thornmail, you're screwed.

In 5v5, your opponents won't realistically all get Thornmails; it's no good on ADCs, Mages or Supports.
