I know it's extremely niche - But take a look at Thormail Braum!

Who dealt the most damage in the game in every single round?

Not the Imperial , not the 2.5 Item nor the , because DRAVEN...

I mean I gave him 3 Items - I brute forced them in every single Carousel this game because I wanted to test this. But should a Level 2, 2 Cost-Unit without any Offensive Synergy really outdamage the ones I listed? x'D

You shouldn't remove it entirely, it's fun. But nerf the numbers, the current values are simply broken.

It really doesnt matter what you target, Thormail, Braum or Warmogs - but one of them needs some changes. Probably Braum since it's the easiest way. And the items are fine if not under powered in pretty much every other scenario. I'd reduce Braum DMG reduction and incresae its uptime. =)

Now than, if you excuse me, I have some freelo to farm. =P

volis chain lighting procs on hit effects like red buff. enjoy.

works with yasuos nado too btw. if you get a red buff on yasuo its freelo, because he usually hits most of the enemy team with it.

I was thinking about something like this once I saw the thornmail change. I haven't gotten around to trying it out though.

honestly the damage mitigated by thornmail and the damage mitigated by shield need to be calculated as two different things. thornmail is fine on anyone else, just doing its thornmail thing. but when you stack on braum's shield to make it return 70/80/90%+, its not really ok. giving him more defense items in order to last longer and make thornmail return even more damage makes sense, but it should only be the basic armor mitigation thats returning damage, not the shield ability. fix that and the oppressive problem goes away.

I tried it, was going well... and then my entire team got oneshot by a 6 assassins 3 void team. Like the game was over in literally 2 seconds. Yikes.

dont lie to show bias , that fight most likely lasted 0,5 seconds max

it generally only does that crazy damage if you are up against an autoattack team with weak spells, like blademasters. Any teams that stun him (without his ult up, the damage isn't that great), or with strong spells (since thornmail only applies to AAs), or silences, or that focus down your backline first-they all counter him. The game is all about counters, the person in last place that dies to weak people can sometimes dominate the guy in first. It's fun to do, but not much worse (if any worse) than noble buff garen with thornmail

No.. not really. If you stack the Item the way I did. The only counter left is RedBuff/Morello and than prey.

Yes Thornmail Braum can be countered. 3 item cannot.
