An idea to make lifesteal a viable choice for bruisers

Xavanic·Mar 13, 2018·1 votes·377 views

So, as the meta currently is, lifesteal cannot be used properly in it, why? simple, every class now has grievous wounds if they want it, , this kinda kills champs who rely on this mechanic to be tanky...but heres an idea

Grievous wounds reduces non-self healing on champions by 40% Why would I say something so stupid you might ask? well this will still weaken healbots like soraka, fiora ult, kindred ult, but it will mean champs like aatrox might actually have a chance to FINALLY, be Meta

While a nice idea, Life Steal on Marksmen and Assassins is still a very big thing that has to be dealt with.

Also which "bruisers" are you talking about? Skirmishers can make decent use of Death's Dance already. Some Divers can use it, but most Juggernauts don't really fit with it very well.

Aatrox, kled, irelia, warwick, theres more i cant think of rn, but they generally build lifesteal, and death's dance is kinda wasted on them

Divers then. Ever since the Fratmogs meta ended "bruiser" hasn't really meant a whole lot, and just causes confusion today. Garen was solidly a bruiser back then after all, but people very rarely mean champions like him when they use it today.

Personally I'd rather see Divers get better built in sustain, rather than make itemizing for life steal better on them. Kled is the only champion you mentioned that doesn't have literal sustain, and even so he does have something similar to it built in with Skaarl. Life steal covers almost every physical damage dealer in the game, where as only certain champions actually need the assistance here, so I'd vote on smaller changes to the individual champions that need help.

TBH, greivous wounds shouldn't even exist in the game anymore, its just a mechanic to reduce the gold efficiency of the opponents items now a days, back in the day it did have its place due to champ dmg being alot lower and some champs (esp old sion) basically becoming unkillable via lifesteal, but it just has no purpose in the game anymore other then to screw over other champs kits and make them un-viable (hence why aatrox has never been meta for more then a patch) and its just been killing the game and keeping some champs in the meta while keeping others out (legit, the only champ i can think of that truly abuses healing rn, is soraka)
