Grievous wounds, bramble vest and ma boi Mundo

So I wanted to ask if was not the only one who thinks grievous wounds is applied way to easily these days. For those who don't know, grievous wounds is an effect that reduces every healing on you by 40%, making it a good counter to summoner 7 DrMundo Swain etc...

Let's list how to apply it:

Katarina 's R and Varus 's E (or W dunno) apply it both in AoE

summoner 14 Applies it for the duration

item 3123 item 3033 item 3165 also make it.

This was before the rework on item 3075 and it was fair, 2 champs applying it often, ignite has a long cooldown, executioner was a situationnal item bought nearly only by adc's, and morello procks grievous wounds only when under 20% HP

But this was beforeitem 3076 this god forsaken item is litterally a giant FU*K YOU to every champion relying on healing, basically reducing by a fuckton DrMundo or Swain usefullness in team fight, sure it's nice against Yasuo orVayne so they dont go back to full health in 1 auto-attack.

My point is, Bramble vest was introduced to fight against lifesteal monsters in teamfight, meaning it would a lot more logical to apply grievous wounds onkly on thornmail and not on bramble vest.

TL-DR Grievous wounds is way to easily applied because of bramble vest item 3076 and counters champs it was not meant too, it should be applied only through thornmalitem 3075

Thougths?

On some champions it is a bit of an investment. I buy Executioner's Calling on Garen when I face Swain, Mundo, and Akali, and if I buy it at the wrong time the stats on it could actually set me behind enough that I lose whatever advantage I had, and therefore cannot use the grevious wounds properly until the lane phase ends.

Bramble Vest is an odd one to me because of the 1 second timer on Grevious Wounds. It really only harms Life Steal and does nothing to Mundo and Swain if they decide to pay attention to it. If simply learning to rely more on abilities than attacks isn't enough to deal with it for champions Bramble Vest was not specifically designed to harm maybe the duration can be reduced to 0.5 seconds, but I really think don't think it's as big of a deal for non-life steal users as you're making it out to be.
