Thornmail is a tanky counter to squishy AD champs, (especially champs like Master Yi, Fiora, and Trynd who cannot rely on the safety of a kiting buffer zone). It gives lots of free damage to tankier champs with little investment. In TT, tanky dps are at an advantage already since smaller teams means weaker focus fire.
