"priceless vs _____, garen, malphite, irelia, _______, nasus, warwick, any healing support, any lifestealing ad carry"

It works well against people who have get lots of health back in a short amount of time from an ability with comparable or worse CD to EC's active. If they get free combat heals, like Irelia, Nasus, WW, or carry with Lifesteal, then you're probably wasting your gold. The second they're hit with that debuff they can always disengage and recommit with no loss of CD or wasted ability usage.

I don't know why you'd think this counters garen or malphite. Garen heals when out of combat, so... if you're in range to use this item you're probably already disabling his passive simply by attacking him. And malphite doesn't have any innate healing or special hp regen at all.

I do agree that it can shut down Sion, Mundo, and Swain. Since it can render their ultimates rather useless.

That said, if you haven't won the match and you've gotten out of the laning phase, this item puts a serious crimp in your build since its base stats are lackluster and doesn't build into anything better. Exchanges will be less frequent too, rendering the active's short CD less valuable.
