[GAMEPLAY] Alistar's heal does not work as tooltip says it does

In a game of ARAM, I noticed that the heal Alistar gices his teammates is only a quarter of the heal the heal he gives himself instead of half like the tooltip describes. This happened on all allied champions, not just warwick as the screenshot shows.

  1. Enter a game of ARAM (not tested for other maps)
  2. Get Alistar and heal a teammate
  3. Notice the numbers that show up for a teammate heal are only half as much as much as the tooltip says they are supposed to be

On ARAM, heals have a dimishing effect on allies.

5.1 Patch Notes: Howling Abyss Aura Self healing is back to full strength on ARAM, but all healing effects on allies are reduced by 50%. Mana regeneration auras on HA are also reduced by half.

Healers on ARAM make games no fun. Nyah.

That's basically the rundown of this change, but to explain a little deeper - we wanted to help out champs who rely heavily on self-healing for their strength (Zac, Maokai) while reducing the power of pokey-heal champs who are pretty much the best in these kind of matchups (looking at you Sona). HEALING EFFECTS AURA All healing effects are reduced by 20% ⇒ All healing effects on allies are reduced by 50% MANA REGENERATION AURA 30% of maximum mana per 5 seconds ⇒ 15% of maximum mana per 5 seconds
