PSA: Healing Cuts are a thing

GuardianReaper·10/24/2019, 8:23:23 PM·3 votes·2,730 views

I know this has been a thing very recently, but why do people complain about how absurd it is to lane against any champ who innate healing in their kit. I apologize if this is hard to swallow for some, however i feel like this need to be said again, as im sure it has been noted and spoken about before. So here is goes.

If you are in a game against: Vladimir Aatrox DrMundo Illaoi Swain _Please for the love of all that is a smart thing to do: _ Buy a grievous wound item. Here are some examples you can purchase early that can help you in lane or overall through out the match: item 3123 item 3165 item 3076

I understand you want to get to your core items, but if you are having a issue in lane, getting these can help you survive it. You can even take summoner 14 too. There are a few more champs that i know who have innate healing, but i feel these are the ones i feel are most complained about. Also one last thing. Even a Support can build one of these items.

Thank you for reading and i hope you all do well in your games.

Because people get mad when they actually have to think rather than just being able to flat out beat something with no effort

PSA: unless you're constantly trading with vlad, in which case straight up damage is often better, buying GW vs him is actually kind of a trap.

Focusing more on damage/core itemization often lets you bully harder.

Vlad is not played as he was intended currently. He plays more like an AP assassin than an AP bruiser. You're probably going to want MR more than GW to out trade him.

Buying GW when you're behind is an even worse idea to try to 'beat' these champs, btw.

Its more effective to buy GW early vs champions like Yuumi and Soraka than champions that constantly heal unless you have a way to consistently apply GW that they can't avoid.

GETTING GW WILL NEVER HELP YOU SURVIVE. IT HAS NO INTERACTION WITH YOUR HEALTH BAR.

If you're getting wrecked in all-ins, GW will not save you. If you're getting wrecked in trades, GW will not save you, it will only mitigate the degree to which you got wrecked, and unless you're constantly applying it, they're going to keep healing anyway.

Buy GW when you're ahead. Buy health/resistances when you're behind.

Yasuo out heals all of those without having healing in his Kit.

I buy Calling, I ping it, I suggest my teammates buy a GW item (no Ignites), but no response. It's the only source of GW on our team. Then I'm the only one who can kill Mundo, so he steamrolls us.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.

if a vlad is fed u wont get anything out of building gw as he will just roll thru ur team and destroy any non-tanky champ in his path but for the others sure

personally, i feel GW and visage should be just outright removed from the game, and healing should be rebalanced with those changes, so your not hurting drain tanks as hard because fuckboi vlad has healing in his kit

I mean.. nobody should complain AT ALL against aatrox since its already nerfed.. (btw executioners doesnt do anything to him, his R overpowers executioners, only bramble works but still not that good).. they need to think about what they need to do to buff aatrox and not make him absurdly op.. I hate riot for gutting champs, specially mah boi.
