I imagine at some point in LOL history this item was worth getting, but right now this item is just terrible. Executioner's calling is supposed to be like the Morellonomicon for adc's, but it just isn't fulfilling it's role very well right now. I think this is an interesting item, but it needs a lot of work if we ever want it to see use.
junglerboy167 votesUh, Riot is already removing EC, SotD, G's RB, and Atma's in the next preseason. it was on the PBE before they swapped it out with the SR update (They are flipping between preseason balance changes and the updated SR so people can report bugs for each separately).
exiledFromBadmen1 votesI wanted to tell this to him, but you did it already.
Rikari1 votessome translation required. SotD works epicly on yi early game though.
SecretAgentHulk1 votesTranslation: When season 4 ends in November, they are removing Executioner's Calling. It's already happened in the beta.
Rikari1 votesi meant the item abbreviations 
SecretAgentHulk1 voteslol. I think it's executioner's calling, sword of the divine, guinsoo's rageblade, and atma's impaler.
Kowe The Ewok3 votesHow about: Executioner's Calling 1900G
=4100
Executioner's Edge
+75 AD +20% Crit
Unique Passive: Your basic attacks inflict Grievous Wounds on enemy champion for 1.5 seconds. Unique Passive: Your crit chance increases by 1% for every 2.5% health your target is missing.
Aurora Celeste2 votesIt is a niche item. Agreed it isn't a particularly good item for 95% of games, but I do buy it from time to time in top lane, like when I see a Mundo and I have teleport instead of ignite. Id prefer it to stay so I can use it in those few select cases like rageblade.
clickhead2 votesI think Executioner's Calling could be better if it had a second upgrade into a more powerful item.
Tentative name: Headsman's Guillotine.
Total cost: around 3000 gold.
Stats:
-45 AD -20% attack speed -20% crit chance (like Executioner's calling) -Unique passive: Grevious wounds for 1.5 seconds on-hit (like Executioner's calling) -Unique passive: Basic attacks deal 8% of the target's MISSING health as physical damage.
(all numbers are tentative and subject to heavy change, they are all just placeholders the only thing I wanted to have is a % missing health on-hit damage item).
I think it would be awesome to have an item that does % missing health damage, kind of like the reverse of Botrk. It would fit very well with the theme of ''executioner'' and ''guillotine'' (% missing health damage is kind of like an execute). Another possibility would be to scrap the passive and instead give it an active that does 20% of missing health as physical damage and if it kills the enemy it gives your champion a moderate movement speed boost for a short time.
forgottenfables1 votesIt was a staple item on Critplank back when it gave Lifesteal and slightly more crit. But people cried about it being TOO good and complained that it made it too easy to Itemize lifesteal in a crit build (probably rightly so to be honest) so it was reworked into the poo item it is today
Drunk Rummate1 votesI build it on my AD nidalee whenever I lane against the rare AD sion or a top-swain. I still build it against swain.
Now that Sion has been reworked I doubt I'll be needing it in that matchup.
Sogreth1 votesThey never gave it an upgrade because then it would be too powerful. The whole point of it is GW. Having GW on a late game item is insanely strong, it make any sustain champ (Mundo, Swain, Aatrox, Maokai, ect) completely useless because of the constant healing reduction. You're trading an item slot for a mediocre item that has GW debuff.
Morello's trade off is having to get someone down to 40% health first while dealing magic damage. EC, as long as you're AA-ing, while always apply the debuff.
NeoScout1 votesMeanwhile atmas and rage blade are gone.....
