Is Everyone Allergic to Grievous Wounds?

Seriously, if you see the enemy team have a majority of either self-healing, healing target allies, or is centered around drain tanking take grievous wounds. I don't know how many times my team has been steam rolled because they won't buy a stat that easily cost 800-900 gold. There should be no excuse to see a Trundle, Mundo, Swain, Warwick, or Vlad become a late game monster all because your team doesn't buy grievous wounds to counter their insane healing. Just buy an Executioner's Calling or a Bramble Vest, that's all I'm asking and trust me once you buy either of those laning against those guys becomes a lot easier.

Most people buy cookie cutter item builds. Not saying this is smart but this is the cause of your problems. Until people learn to adjust the their build depending on the state of the game this will continue to be a problem. I didn't really start doing this until I started maining riven and trying out tons of different stuff and learned how to adjust from that.

Remind them. I honestly was playing first time ADC and forgot/thought my toplaner would buy GW to counter his laner. I didn't think it was my job until it was too late.

But GW and mass healing itself are too binary and unfun. https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/iKM4fleI-why-is-draintank-vs-grievouswounds-so-binary?comment=0009

Lots of support saying GW and DrainTanks are bad design. It is bad for both sides. Either one side is ridiculous and unkillable, or you buy a single item and just ruin their build.
