Is there ever going to be one or am I blind, theres no grievous wound items for AD champs its very annoying, especially when ur fighting Akali with gunblade and shes at 200 health then jumps to half health after 1 cast, the new system also buffed Health regen and you removed this item, the only thing now is either take IGNITE or make ur AP get Morellos.
Just wondering if this will added some time, I feel like AP champs have always had the better itemization.
Xypherous has signaled his intent pretty hard here. They're going to delete Grievous Wounds and retune the champs you have to have it against.
Don't buy Exe's ever, by the way.
There were only very few situations where I would pick it up after I had my core items in the past, obviously you cannot buy it now. They need to just add it to anothing item to add some counterplay to those champs who quickly or almost instantly can refill their health in team skirmishes.
Executioners was such a good and cost efficient item. It was like a mini IE but with a situational passive. I always got it against champs that rely on life steal and worked wonders tagged with thorn mail. It's such a shame to see it go away. Removing grevious wounds will just limit strategic diversity by removing a counter play option.
there will be no replacement
Sustain management in general is a slippery slope.
Quite honestly, it's the presence of these champions that make it so hard to balance grievous wounds, since their reliance on sustain makes the one-sided counter impossible to deal with, ultimately making them irrelevant if they aren't already powerful enough to withstand the such a hard counter, in which case, grievous wounds becomes necessary to keep them in check - assuming, of course, they all stay at the same power level.
I wish we could re-incorporate it, but they're ultimately going to remove Grievous Wounds from the game anyways.
