So how are we supposed to counter healing now?

So with Executioner's gone. MissFortune no longer having grievous. Fizz also without it. We are running out of ways to counter healing. At this rate people like Soraka Swain Zac Fiddlesticks and more may slowly become more and more broken. A lot of the recent trend lately has been forcing grievous into being much more rare. Morello is only useful if you get the person low. Will we be seeing another grievous wounds source perhaps for AD anytime soon? I feel like we are slowly just nulling out grievous which is going to make certain people who are balanced around it existing are going to be unchanged.

friendly reminder that soraka's ult removes grievous wounds and also heals more if the recipients' hp is below a certain threshold

Well considering she is THE healer champion, not surprised at all.

Riot is removing GW. The existence of a hard counter to healing means healing has to stay strong. Removal of said hard counter with culminate in a rework/nerf to healing and regen.

That's the line of reason that's been given, anyway.

They've spoken about grievous wounds. They're looking into it and don't intend to remove it.

Fizz never needed GW anyways, it was overkill on his kit.

They are looking at GW, possibly a new GW AD item and reducing the effectiveness of Grievous Wounds while reducing the power of champions that necessitate taking GW (since right now, either champions like Swain or Dr. Mundo stomp a team with their sheer regeneration, or they suck and die to GW.)

What I don't understand is the downvotes. Does no one remember the last time Swain was top tier pick? We need people to deal with healers that do damage and don't die because it is toxic. We can't deal with it when the counter to it is being removed nonstop.

Just an FYI this is one of the many reasons poke bot lanes have died out. Too many heavy sustain bots that just scale harder.
