Thornmails is garbage now
before the adc blowout of preseason 6 thornmail got a nerf. wasn't that bad back then but now its pretty much worthless. the 15% returned is easily compensated by a single life steal item (before at 30% you needed at least two). and the bonus damage form 25% of your bonus armor is really a joke compared to the crit focused adc blasting you for 200-600 and taking a measly 30 or so damage in return. further weakening this item is the Death's Dance completely canceling the % returned and bleed furthering the pointlessness of the bonus, the maw giving adcs decent mr lowering the magic damage of the thornmail as well as giving more lifesteal to counteract it and finally phantom dancer's reduction (a dd and pd pretty much make buying thornmail a waste of money). Thornmail is not cost effective or effective at all anymore. it was the hard counter to a fed attack spd champ but now you're pretty much better of as a tank getting a hp/armor item (which there are plenty and they are nice) or some ap/ad and hope to burst said carry down faster. i realizes you guys try to run the game more towards outplays then i-by-this-item-and-now-hard-counter, but i really feel this item needs some love either in the form of alot higher bonus damage from bonus armor (say 50 instead of 25) or give t back that 30% returned and force adcs to get that extra life steal item. also if it would proc on on-hit effects (gp, fiora, ez's q) don't know it it was a bug but was recently getting hit by ez's q as rammus and if i had w on it would punish him for qing me but if no w thornmail wasn't doing anything
