Thornmail

V5.16 Total cost increased to 2350 Gold from 2100 Gold. Reflected damage reduced to 15% from 30%. NEW EFFECT: Reflected damage now deals (+25% bonus armor) bonus damage. The armor ratio will be affected by flat armor reductions down to 0 armor - while percent armor reductions will be ignored for the purpose of calculating bonus damage.i.e. The Black Cleaver item.png The Black Cleaver will not reduce the reflected damage by reducing your bonus armor but a level 5 Puncturing Taunt.png Puncturing Taunt will reduce the reflected damage by 6.25(25% of 25).Negative armor values will be treated as 0. Armor penetration will not affect the ratio.

thank you. I want a useable item ant not a noob trap that has been in the game for over a year and a half with no response of any sort. Thornmail at the moment might be the only noob trap item in league (good on rammus and thats it. less so on malphite as mana and cdr is much more valued). even ohmwrecker at least is gold efficient.

item loses half its value just because the ADC bought LDR.

I miss the days of 70 flat MR shred Kog with Thornmail.

Hilarious doesn't even begin to describe it.

Though in all seriousness, I still think Thorn should be redesigned as a Diver item (item 1031 item 1029 item 1043 ) with OnHit magic damage and a stacking debuff that gives you (percentage) physical damage reflection per stack on your target. That would give people a way to actually play around the thing. Don't get pounced on.

I don't think Riot wants Thorn to be good in its current state due to how passive it is. The thing wasn't ever a good design for a Tank item since it actively discourages focus. It's an item to help beefy folks duel auto-attackers.

Thornmail was build in worlds, your argument is invalid.
