So Thornmail is being changed to a component from Randuin's Omen

Also, Randuin's Omen no longer reduces attack speed. Instead, it reflects damage to the enemy, just like Thornmail currently does. What do you think of those changes? I honestly don't know what to say. Only that I would rather have Thornmail be reworked or buffed instead. And now we only have Frozen Heart as our item that reduces attack speed.

I never got randuins for the attack speed reduction I got it for the crit reduction and the aoe slow. If I wanted attack speed reduction I would get frozen heart as it is more useful as an attack speed reduction item.

I like them. Thornmail actually being an earlygame item, that you can actually build into something is nice. However, I also like the loss of an AS reduction item. Randuin's fits more into the niche of they do too much damage with their autos, so but this, instead of sharing Frozen Hearts, they attack to often, buy this.

I get the idea that Riot wants tank itemization to focus on being able to tank one kind of damage. They don't want an all end item that is useful against any kind of physical damage.

Randuin's Omen is pretty much and anti ADC item now. It you wanted general armor and HP item you get Deadman's or sunfire now.

RIP thornmail.

I'm a little surprised the new version isn't a component of sunfire cape instead. AoE damage + AA damage reflection.
