the issue is if you play him like a tryndamere  (melee carry AD)

you're going to crit 1K damage a hit during 3 sec on someone.. seems damn OP to me

btw about thornmail i'm pretty sure the damage returned as magical are based on damage you deal before armor reduction ^^ it is mitigated by MR though
