bruiser-sustain Patch 7.2
Goredrinker

Core

Goredrinker

Goredrinker is the item for bruisers who dive into the middle: its active hits in an area and heals for every champion struck.

The more enemies around you, the more the active returns — the opposite of a dueling item. On a Jarvan or Vi jumping into the 1v3, it turns the brawl into a heal source and buys the seconds your team needs to follow up.

The sustain pick for multi-target divers; in pure duels, Death's Dance or Sundered Sky pay more.
