We need to have a talk about Grievious Wounds
I think the removal of Executioners Calling reminded everyone of certain champs. Namely Swain and Vlad. I'm seeing at least one of them picked every other game and while they don't always win, they're incredibly difficult to deal with. MR continues to be a joke of a stat, especially in the case of sustained magic damage like swains ult and vlads insanely low cooldowns, and because they heal off damage dealt, they can build somewhat off-tanky (vlads passive+zhonyas/swains RoA+zhonyas, which fun fact, his ult isn't channeled, so he gets to heal a massive amount of health while he zhonyas) while focusing on damage for the heals. This leads to the problem of 1. having to have at least one ignite up to fight a team with vlad or swain, or 2. having to outdamage their heals without getting blown up yourself (which with zhonyas makes this incredibly difficult). While GW wasn't really a "hard-counter" to them (they still had their damage while not being super squishy) it kept them at least under control (it only halved the heal, it didn't negate it completely). Morellonomicon is now the only answer to it besides picking specific champions purely for GW (trist, fizz, kat, MF, and varus are the only ones who can inflict GW), and even then only against under-40% HP which is really really hard to do against these 2 champs. Now I'm not saying EC needs to return, cause it was ass, but something needs to replace it so GW can actually be something useful.
