item 3123 This was the only item Ad players had to combat life steal champs like Fiddlesticks Swain Vladimir and it wasnt built in every game but it had its niche market when you ARE against champs like this. Teams shouldn't have to burn all their summoner 14 on a champ just to be able to kill them.

I know that item 3165 is still in Summoners Rift. I think since you removed item 3123 you should also be removing this item. Since you want to let life steal champs run wild. For people like me who like to counter build them so they cant just rape the shit outta me it makes me sad that this item was removed without explicit reasoning behind it. I play top lane and when I see a mundo, fiora, fiddle, swain, or vlad. I know that I or my adc will be building an item 3123 just so that we have grievous on them so they are not just going to stand in a team fight and laugh at all our dmg.

While you can say, but why isnt your apc running item 3165. Thats simple, after the champs above 40% it doesnt apply grievous.

Also with current meta of only top and mid running summoner 14 since bot lane usually has the adc running summoner 4 summoner 7 and the support summoner 4 summoner 3 jungle unless shaco is running summoner 4 summoner 14. I donno I kinda want this item back or at least something to go against a hard life steal/regen champ cause right now its REALLY REALLY hard to fight them unless you have ignite ready to throw on them.

No. People said Executioner's Calling was, "the worst item in the game," because they have no common sense. Enjoy playing against Nasus, Mundo and Garen every game now.

It's all but necessary against... one champion. Maybe two. And that's pretty much all it was used for. It still didn't provide meaningful late-game stats, and it was the least built item in the game for that reason (among others).

So I know using the pictures is cute and all but it's really unnecessary for conveying a point to people. Regardless, I loved Executioner's Calling. it was an excellent item, just like Negatron Cloak, Atmas Impaler, and many other items that were removed from the game.

I agree it was a niche item. However it was good because you dont have to have a direct counter to a champ for example. If you get to banning and someone picks something before the other people do and then tada mundo top. Literally I had a game where we had 2 people burn ignites to kill him. Having the ability to build items to counter niche champs. Needs to be there. As it sits hard life steal adc's and any champ that builds out right life steal ect. Will just walk over anyone.

I know the pictures were over the top. It was my way of conveying a point. I think the removal of it. Even if it wasn't a over all popular built item in game it still needs to be there.

Several champs need it to be countered and I will picture them all now.

All of these champs need grievous wounds to be effective against especially if your not getting help from jungle early enough to counter them.

Trist is a common ban in my elo and probably others. So its not always a pick counter pick type deal and for champs who have built in grievous wounds.

Tristana MissFortune Katarina and honorable mentions go to Brand since his passive is a dot that kinda helps counter hard life steal/regen champs.

I literally cannot kill Mundo top lane without building Executioner's.

It just can't be done. It's also really helpful to have against heal-bot champions like Sona or Soraka... Why in the hell would people say Executioner's is shit? It's all but necessary against Mundo.

I thin Riot is really pushing towards: "You HAVE to have X champion to counter Y champion."

See a Mundo? Now your ADC has to be Tristana or Miss Fortune!

And we're also going to be pumping out more champions that don't quite have counters yet! Kalista
