The reworked Morellonomicon's build path needs to be improved

Brutal DMG·2/14/2018, 11:59:45 AM·1 votes·1,216 views

On PBE We can see that MORELLO has been reworked so AP manaless champions and any other ap champion can use it properly. Now it also brings GW at any level, and at any % precent of health the enemy has, because it applies GW on magic DMG, but the build path is bad, and we know it

Finally we have a counter item for healing & healers, but ....

The problem is that we **MUST **spend time 3.000 gold to buy the item jsut for the Griveous wounds effect. Is not fair to wait almost 15 minutes and give up on my main items to counter my enemy and stop him bullying me without being able to counter-atack, this is why i tried to bring an idea of a new build path, that does not change the item and gives more tools to the us to counter champions like OR

This is the actual/current build path that will come into patch 8.4 (next week) :

Nah. I disagree. I'm a mage player main, but even I would cede that grievous wounds on aoe spells and dots at 900g is just broken. There are scarce few abilities on the Physical damage side of the spectrum that can do that in high frequency. Mostly, the phys side of the spectrum relies on item 3077 to spread it, and that's not a particularly large aoe.

Some exceptions:

Darius (wouldn't usually build executioner's since it makes his tankiness suffer) Gangplank (His ult; has a long cooldown) Jinx (Fishbones) Kayn (spammable enough for mention, but not an early item since he needs CDR) Lucian (Ult; late build due to adc primaries) MissFortune (mainly ult as support, since as support she doesn't need to prioritize ADC items) Riven Sivir (late because adc priorities) Urgot (needs to build tanky to survive. Usually can't early game it)

That's really the only champs who can religiously abuse it without single target skills or long pauses between aoe abilities on the AD side.

On the Mage side, here's a list of low CD spam that makes Grievous hard to get out of:

Zyra Zac Ziggs Teemo Taliyah Syndra Sona Ryze Rumble Ornn Rammus Nidalee Morgana Mordekaiser MissFortune Maokai Malzahar Lux Lulu Kennen Kayle Katarina Karthus Karma Fizz Fiddlesticks e Heimerdinger Evelynn Elise DrMundo Diana Amumu Anivia AurelionSol Ahri

That's just the ones who can sustain it.

It's an exceptionally dangerous early pick on these:

Zyra Teemo Rumble Morgana Heimerdinger DrMundo

Because once in their field of DoT damage, there's nothing someone can do to actually try to survive other than to leave. With the buffed Rylai's coming into play as well, that won't be easy, and Teemo has the slow built into his shrooms.

The difference is viable useage. There are other Phys damage champs that use Executioners situationally, but they're generally duelists, not aoe spam Doters. Morgana with it can just ruin bot, as can Zyra, since adcs wouldn't be able to heal, and their dots are pretty sustainable. Brand would be an instant perma ban, since he just has to hit 1 ability to burn, and is good at working around minions.
