Goredrinker has been changed in 16 League of Legends patches. 6 buffs, 3 nerfs, 5 adjustments. Most recently buffed in Patch 13.17.
Goredrinker is meant to be a heavy fighter item where durability is its primary output. This should be the go-to item for fighters whose goal is to live as long as possible, so raising its slot efficiency and durability should help do that.

Goredrinker is already reasonably powerful, but it’s still lagging behind Sunderer, so we’re giving it some light buffs to bring it up to par. We’re adjusting the gold cost specifically to reduce how directly comparable these items are to each other.

We made some pretty substantial changes to Goredrinker last patch, and it turns out we overshot the nerfs. As we discussed in the last patch notes, Goredrinker is designed for outlasting enemies, so we're pushing buffs into its durability and sustain. These changes should help bring it back up, but not to its past popularity.
General
- Health increased to 450 from 400.
- Omnivamp increased to 10% from 8%.
- Ceaseless Hunger health increased to 600 from 550.
- Ceaseless Hunger omnivamp increased to 15% from 13%.
At its core, Goredrinker is supposed to be a sustain Mythic that lets fighters outlast their enemies with well-timed Thirsting Slashes. While wanting to sustain through a fight isn't unique to fighters, it's a big part of their class identity: They have the best tools to stay on the offensive at low health (ex. the dream Illaoi ult that lets her turn a 1v5). At the same time, this is a risky niche to fill: Two of our bigger rough patches since the item update have been damage and healing, and Goredrinker offers both. We've seen this risk play out over the course of the season, with Goredrinker becoming the dominant Mythic pick for fighters due to offering the best sustain without making sufficient tradeoffs on the damage front. As further evidence,assassins have been taking Goredrinker over their own Mythics. Assassins are designed to kill quickly, so they shouldn't be valuing an item that indexes so much into sustain and strength at low health. Between its 1.0 AD ratio and its heal, Goredrinker's active is just too valuable as another button in assassin combos that also lets them shrug off any damage they take while eviscerating their target.In order to move Goredrinker back into its sustain niche, we're removing its low-health bonus AD (to nerf damage for fighters) and weakening Thirsting Slash's AD scaling (to nerf damage for assassins). At the same time, we don't want Goredrinker to become a bad pick for fighters, so we're giving it omnivamp to make sure it still lives up to its identity as their sustain Mythic.
