The state of Grevious Wounds (OP)
Grievous wounds originally started off only being related to the items: morellonomicon, ignite, and executioners calling (with no further build path). Currently its on all these things combined with the new armor pen item and the new thornmail and bramble vest.
Grievous wounds heavily counters health users such as aatrox, vlad, and other champs or people with lifesteal. Previously it was in an okay state. Morello's GW only activates below 40% health allowing champs to still function normally above that threshold. Ignite is on a 3 min cd which helps with the appliance of GW. Executioners calling was a heavy counter to health users because it had no requirements to apply GW except for an auto, but it wasnt too bad because it didnt build into anything.
Now there are more items being introduced or reworked with GW involved, but like executioners don't have the same situationally drawbacks morello and ignite hold. Especially being introduced now into thornmail and a cheaper version, bramble vest, its too easy tocounter health users. Not to mention the fact thornmail's double wammy buffa make it absurd in stopping adcs. Not only will their lifesteal, the only way to counter thornmail, is cut in half, their autos will be slower too and the only option is to not hit the champs with thornmail. I say champs because it will most likely be bought in 2 roles every game.
