Can Grievous Wound be change in effectiveness over time?

I'm not sure if burst counters sustain or the other way around, and DPS probably does the opposite of burst. I can honestly see both sides of the argument and I'm not sure which is right.

That said, if burst is meant to counter sustain, can Grievous Wound be strong early, and become weaker over time? Something like even 80% reduced healing at first moments, but in a few seconds it ramps down to 20% reduction. If DPS is meant to counter sustain, can Grievous Wound be weak early, but become stronger over time? Something like 20% reduction ramping up to 80% over a few seconds.

Also, please someone enlighten me on what counters sustain because I can't figure it out.

poke and sustain counter one another

In laning phase, sustain counters poke because poke lanes are meant to force the enemy laner to back (or be killed) and take advantage of that. Even if your sustain is weaker than their poke, you still win by being able to stay much longer.

I was curious about teamfight situations, though. Are you supposed to burst them down before they can sustain, or use high DPS to slowly wear them down?

depends what champ u are talking about. if someone has high sustain (tank?) wear them down. if they have high sustain (like a vlad?) burst them down.
