Riot Axes on upcoming Grievous Wounds changes League of Legends’ Lead Champion Designer, stated on Reddit that the current Grievous Wounds system has several flaws. Furthermore, they indicated that they are not currently redesigning it extensively. They now intend to grant 40% Grievous Wounds to anti-heal components (Executioner’s Calling, Bramble Vest, and Oblivion’s Orb) from the start. These items currently grant a 25% GW. Riot expects players to use the counters as needed with this adjustment. The direction will be something much closer to the pre-Items Update system – components with 40% grievous wounds so that you can access a counter when you need it, growing into stat sticks that make more sense within builds, but not specifically upgrading the GW amount.”
