it's technically a nerf. people were complaining about the healing ardent gave not the attack speed or the on hit dmg. so riot removes what everybody complained about and gave it a compensation buff in return to make the item not trash

Depend how you use it, it can be a buff.

yeah, look at all those supports that will actually make good use of the buff... oh wait! this is literally ardent before it's first nerf but with the healing part removed which means it's actually nerfed

The heal allows ADCs to sustain without life steal, saving them a lot of gold and giving them more damage through crit items. Removing it nerfs that away.

Fun Fact : The heal was a drain, so that 25 was also dealing an extra 25 damage. Overall this is a re-balance for late game with a meta that gets decided before 15 minutes 9/10 matches. So yeah, it's a nerf because supports won't get much out of this item and ADCs are losing their free heal with a drop in additional damage and attack speed. Honestly I can see support waiting 1 additional item before building this now.
