Why is thorn mail not in TT?

Currently hyper carry ADs like Trynd, fiora, and Yi, go bonkers in 3s. They get on a roll and they don't stop, They're exceptionally suited to 3s maps because they need to be peeled (typically done by a 5 man team not just 3), and they're expert duelists, which lends to twisted treeline perfectly. Thornmail is the most direct counter to these types of characters. However, despite the fact hyper ADs perform BETTER in TT, riot decided to remove their only reliable counter.

Why let , , stomp all over the map when there's a perfectly good way to counter them in SR?

I think it would be great to have a similar item to thornmail, maybe less armor and 20~25% damage return. since they did the same thing with warmogs, they have the overlords mail instead.

cuz zhonyas on the map there, and its combined with deathcap.....

Might as well give zhonyas to AD champs too, 2.5sec immunity ftw + flash, you can never get caught, since if u do, zhonyas and team shows up and wipes the players.

TBH a randuin's works wonders since they all scale off of Attack Speed, the issue isn't that they have too much damage, it's that they either have a bunch of crit (Trynd) or a Huge Attack Speed Steroid (Fiora and Yi)

Why not just nerf them instead?
