i have a perfect idea for Thornmail @Riot & @Everyone

Since we have a new build path which is item 3076

make 2 Thornmail items

  1. Thornmail for Grevious Wounds which is Thornmail and take the reflected damage of. So it's just going to be a sustain Counter item for tanks not damage item 3075 but maybe make the Picture Purple armor instead? or something you could think of that matches. However it probably will need another Unique passive because Gw alone won't be doing the job.
  2. item 3075Another type of Thornmail without Grevious Wounds but Does a heavy reflected True damage against Auto attackers

Like how we have 2 Lw

  1. item 3033 For Grevious Wounds
  2. item 3036 for Damage

That would be the best Solution so far. So there will be more options to counter and each has it's way

For example if u play against someone with a lot of sustain while you tank u buy the 1st type of Thornmail which is the Grevious wounds and if u play against someone who is so fast or has a lot of crits and base damage u go for the 2nd Type of Thornmail which is going to to the one who does Reflected damage

grievous wounds without reflected damage means they will still be healing just not for as much, which is weak compared to both the new tmail and the old tmail so option 1 is useless unless you add some additional mega powerful effect.

option 2 is just old thornmail. the strength of that would depend on how the reflected damage is calculated.

but yeah option 1 is garbage sorry.

u can buy 2 of them if enemy adcs have heavy sustain + heavy auto attacks that will close a slot of tanks to force them to get 2 thorns + they wont have that giant issue anymore

and yes i am not just saying Option one without reflected and only Gw, maybe give it another unique passive, shields yourself when u get hit maybe stuff like that always be unique and nice.

and my option 2 for old thornmail was yes i meant it to be old but with a stronger reflected and no Gw so both of them are going to be so useful and both are going to be a nice counter items for tanks

That can actually solve things with tanks. i like your ideas dude. Hopefully riot can confirm them.

i would be so hype to see 2 Thornmails

why would you force tanks to use two slots to make a worthwhile effect? tanks are in a bad spot right now, they dont need to be forced into using two slots for a decent thornmail effect.

The thing is u dont need both, u can only have one. it will always depend on ur playstyle and which build u prefer to have.

More addition. only if you prefer buying both thats ur optional thing. i didn't say you need both because each will have a very unique and interesting counter thing.

however both are going to have 100 armor anyway so 200 armor for 2 slots wont be bad.

Riot has already been clear on the fact that they dislike tank items that also provide damage.

item 3076 itself applies grievous wounds so both upgrades would inherit the GW passive.
