When do people start buying Grievous Wounds against enemies with lots of heals/regen?

It's like pulling teeth trying to get anyone on my team to even respond to comments about GW, much less actually buy it. It's like the entire concept is protected by a Somebody Else's Problem field and it just slips right under the radar. Even when a Mundo is utterly destroying our team and we can only kill him 4v1, even when I ask if anyone's gonna buy GW, even when I mention ten minutes later that we still have no GW items, even when I suggest buying Calling at only 800g (Ashe, Yi, Darius, and Jinx... literally everyone could've bought that), it's crickets. No response. No GW. We ended up throwing nearly a quarter million damage at him before winning at 38 minutes with Elder dragon due to the rest of his team being bad. Even when the enemy team has a Mundo and a Vlad, all the GW we get is Ez buying item 3165 half an hour in... while also having item 3036 rather than item 3033.

What situation/MMR will cause people to actually get GW?

me low elo player

me build same recommend items every game

my teammates are why im silver for going on 6 seasons

even worse is when they fall for the classic riot trap where they don't put the right items on the recommended list just to fuck bad players ( they actually admitted to this ) like putting black cleaver instead of trinity on Fiora or no steraks on darius and garen

The day people actually start building QSS against Malzahar, Warwick, Rakan, Skarner, Zac or Leona.

Or the day people build banshee's or edge of night first item against AP malphite.

When they learn to read what items and champions do instead of just complain that a champion is "broken" or "overpowered."
