Question about Maw of Malmortious

I think it was the addition of the Lifegrip passive that tipped it over.

Riot's intention with Lifegrip, I believe, was to make it a more attractive buy on Fighters or Juggernauts who excel at being at low health. What it has done, though, is help Assassins and Marksman by increasing their damage output and survivability where otherwise they should be easy to kill.

I've personally not noticed an increase in use from the item. I see it highly common on bruisers, sometimes tanks and assassins if situational. But mainly bruisers who need abit of MR but don't want to sacrifice damage. Just my perspective.. And i've not increased nor decreased it's popularity in my eyes. Even after change
