THORNMAIL AND ADC
: Destroy 40% of Thornmail gold efficiency, making you waste your gold. Plus if you build HP you actually boost the damage the ADC deals towards yourself.
: Since Thornmail doesn't return skill damage, this item provides healing that bypass thornmail passive. Plus the damage you return is mitigated by DD's 2nd passive.
: The bane of Thornmail! With MR to reduce Thornmail's damage, Lifesteal and a great active to help you get away from heavy CC tanks.
: Also another huge counter. MR + AR pen make this item destroy any kind of use that Thornmail has. Plus with the passive + any lifesteal item you can easily use the tank with the Thornmail as a giant potion to heal yourself when you're low.
** Now begs the question, with so many options to counter this item why ADC complain so much, and why the nerfs? **
If you are a ADC that struggle against a full AR rammus with Thornmail, the problem isn't Thornmail nor Rammus, IT IS YOU!!
**HOW TO COUNTER A FULL AR RAMMUS WITH THORNMAIL: ** + , DONE! You have destroyed 40% of Rammus' gold usage + MR to negate the retaliation and his ult + QSS to disengage from his taunt when you get caught.
HOW TO COUNTER A FULL AR MALPHITE WITH THORNMAIL: + , DONE! Malphite's strengh comes from his ability to burst squish carries with his ULT + spell rotation, with Maw you gain the MR and shield to counter his engage and with Mercurial you gain lifesteal, more MR and QSS to cancel his Q slow.
** Learn how to build, stop crying for nerfs for a underpowered item just because you want to build: 
and go #YOLO and then crying cause you lose.
