The problem with removing Grievous Wounds though is that champions with ridiculous (read: broken) amounts of sustain become nearly impossible to deal with (Vlad, Swain, Mundo, etc.). While Executioner's Calling wasn't exactly a great item, it at least gave AD champions a way to combat said champions.

Is Grievous Wounds binary power with minimal counterplay? Yeah, but so is the idiotic amount of sustain that those champions get. Aside from Katarina's ult, Varus's E, and Morellonomicon, there are no other sources of healing reduction aside from Ignite (which is hardly a viable counter to due its extremely long cooldown).

If you want to remove Grievous Wounds, you better be thinking about how to fix the problem it was designed to tackle.
