PBE Thornmail has Grevious Wounds

FalconPawwwwnch··8 votes·791 views

Does anyone else think this is really a bad idea?

Instead of inflicting Grevious Wounds and screwing over all healers like Mundo, it should reduce lifesteal by a % instead

Thornmail isn't supposed to screw over champions who heal from abilities, it's supposed to be an anti physical autoattacker item

You do realize that this does nothing vs Mundo's Q right? Not only is it Magic Damage (which doesnt get dropped with Thornmail) but because it's not an auto-attack GW won't even be applied.

It's funny how a lot of people were like "ADD GW TO THRONMAIL! IT WILL MAKE THE ITEM SO MUCH BETTER!" now people are like "WE WERE JOKING DON'T DO IT IT WILL RUIN ADCS VS THORNMAIL!"

I mean, strawman it all you want, but the boards are made up of more than one person and opinion.

You're right. Mundo doesn't have an entire ability solely dedicated to empowering his auto attacks. Good call.

Lol, something to get vs the heavy BORK spam? I'm ok with this.

Regardless of this happening or not Thornmail really does need something so it is actually worth getting even in some situations.

Tanks need a way to access grievous wounds aside from ~4 min cd ignite.

I like the change.

you should read the post on her by RIOT

its not gonna happen

and why does every one refuse to accept the fact that life steal is based on getting a % of hp back based on how much physical damage is dealt after reduction from armor ?

if you have more armor you reduce the amount of life steal someone can heal from by taking less damage due to the damage reduction therfor lowering the amount of damage they inflict ...

lets say they have 10% life steal and do 100 physical damage they heal for 10hp ... but you get more armor and they are now doing 80 damage to you they heal for 8 cuz it is still 10%

that's a good idea. Mundo won't be screwed by him don't worry for him

the thing is it's supposed to fuck over draintanks, not only lifesteal

tanks aren't healing packs for Aatrox XinZhao Warwick and other things

I agree. Change Thornmail so it builds out of item 3067 + item 1031. 75 Armor 300 HP 10% CDR so that my item 3047 item 3143 item 1413 item 3110 item 3194 item 3075 (Tank vs. AD Heavy Team) can efficiently get 40% CDR like my Tank vs Heavy AP (item 3111 item 3001 instead of Tabi and Thorn).

EDIT: It would also make it a decent rush into the BotRK spam.

Is it at least an active? Having a Rammus/Taric/Malphite counter my sustain as Trundle (simply for completing an item) seems kind of counter-intuitive. None of them exactly have issues dealing with auto-attackers as it is, and none of them can be killed without Subjugate.

Nearly every mage already buys item 3165 and this is super cheap item 3123. Do we really need more grievous wounds right now?
