Win some, lose some. Also ARAM has ALWAYS been something of a chaotic experience. This is nothing really new.

Warmogs was a way of giving you a makeshift "fountain" if you went tank. Basically you could just run yourself at an opponent and if you get away you get topped off like that. Somewhat of a crutch that said "you don't pay for your mistakes." Now you have to play it smarter but in no way is it impossible.

Living proof: One of my recent games today. There was a Lux. There was poke. Kept composure and we held strong. Again, win some, lose some.

By that logic, we should remove all healing affects that are not part of a champions kits, since they just give them a crutch that allows them to mitigate their mistakes. If that were the case, I would not mind having warmogs gone. But since that is not the case, it feels really bad to play tanks when a decent chunk of the champs can just heal back up while you sit there low. Not a fun experience.

My point wasn't to say to cripple healing as that's already been done with the reduction of heals to other champions by 50%. If you aren't investing into playing that heal support style in a match, it's not worth it.

Ever since the Howling Abyss Aura was even introduced, I did a lot less ally healing especially on Soraka in the early game because why trade 100 HP to heal someone 60 HP; I rather be an aggressive spellslinger. Granted, she was also the only champion I habitually relied on the Warmogs for. Now that it's gone, should the roll allows me to play Soraka again, I'll just have to resort to an old tactic. Not a problem.

As for the latter part:

Nothing's stating that you have to sit there low while opponents can top off. Even in the game I linked, they had Lux Soraka Karma Gangplank. At any point they could have just disengaged enough to cover bases. Even still, I as Braum resorted to full tank after a double item 1028 double item 1042 start thinking it wouldn't be all too stressful. When I knew I was low and needed more health for the upcoming teamfight, I didn't just rely on what I had in HP. I surveyed our position on the map, fleshed out how fast they could push during my death timer, took a death (might have caused 2 more), got back up and dissuaded their siege by attacking (and sometimes ulting) the minion wave.

I trusted my carries. Even if we lost (and we almost did) I was still smiling. "Win some, lose some." That's what I do in my context of playing it smarter. In no way is it perfect or fun, but I'm the kind of player who makes anything refreshing if I'm not getting flamed for why I'm not playing like another random player expects me to

Well, then we need to remove all the champs that can heal themselves also. Fine with me. Oh, and also the life steal rune choice.
