It is still magic damage, so some bad *** MR item should work :P

As a side note, getting Last Whisper or Black Cleaver will help you survive, as well as some good life steal, since the damage returned is based off damage done before armor.

in addition to what they have said, if you are playing ADC i would suggest you just take Last whisper, bloodthirster and a mercurial scimitar if possible. this combo would give damage and hard counters thornmail. also i haven't seen many tanks getting thornmail in quite a while. they usually just hp stack so getting BOTRK situationaly would work.
+rep if i helped or if you just happen to like repping ^^

Thornmail isn't used due to the fact it only provides armor, meaning that mixed damage is strong against that. Add in the fact that it deals magic damage back and most tanks don't have mpen, it's not a very strong item. Just get some MR, and that should help. Merc Scimitar is a nice pick up.

Amumu is probably the only tank who gets MPen/MR shred.

I'd say dealing magic damage...

Attacking someone with a thornmail is a very bad example of focus, imo. Lifesteal can mitigate the damage but you'd be way better off attacking some other target.

My tank does. :D
Always get at least some MPen on Amumu.
Gotta try that one. :D

Haven't seen it used in normal games either, just a few times now in ARAM, where it hurts a lot.


Soraka + Thornmail way more effective, then. (+ A Harmless Scarecrow+ Abyssal Mask)

Nope.

Sejuani, Dr. Mundo, Cho'Gath, Malphite and Galio disagree.

Cho'gath occcasionally, Malphite depends, Galio yes, Mundo only gets Sorc's (unless he's bad), Sej shouldn't get MPen.

Why not? Liandry's Torment is absolutely wonderful on her.


Thank you to jhoijhoi for the sig, and all the dividers in the guide.
