Thornmail counters Auto-Attackers, yes?
So why not make Thornmail build out of Wardens Mail so it REALLY counters them, up the cost a tiny bit. Then make Randuins build out of chain vest and buff up its base stats a tad bit to compensate for the loss of a passive?
Jaygo412 votesthe biggest problem with thornmail is that people just heal right through the damage with lifesteal... it needs to do something a little more significant like grievous wounds or something like that
Spaceman5pff1 votesI feel like Greivous Wounds is a great idea but in practice might be a bit overbearing. This is why I thought of this idea, at least it helps them take even longer to kill you strictly for auto attackers

Grievous wounds would be perfect.
Spaceman5pff1 votesI should Reiterate: I do feel like the reduced healing is an ideal scenario. However, if such a simple solution as that worked to make the item viable without being overpowered, it probably would have hit the pbe by now. Riot Balance team might seem daft sometimes, but I have a pretty good feeling that they would have solved the problem if the solution was that easy.
I guess to me, Greivous wounds kinda makes sense, but i would rather see it reduce lifesteal vs yourself, such that it doesn't fuck up other sources of healing (thereby countering soraka when meant to counter caitlyn) again, though, that is too simple to not have been looked at my now.
@Riot any thoughts?
