Hextech GLP

With the new items for the AP update Hextech GLP's active portion received a rather sizable decrease to its slow and damage. From 65% for 1 sec to a 40% for 1 sec and from 100-200(+35% AP) to 75-150(+20% AP) which is a sizable nerf to its active.

Can I get a rioter's reason for this or anyone on the forums know? I never thought GLP was abused, matter of fact I thought it was underutilized in a lot of champions kits. I figured it was because of its build path, hence the item build change.

As a first item with cdr now champions that went morello were just gaining ~100-150 damage + a massive slow on an all in combo compared to what they had before. Obviously this made a lot of the mage roster much stronger than intended. Do you want to play against a Syndra that almost can't miss her combo + has more damage than before?

It's just a much better item stat wise now. I actually found it a great item now, but with these changes I can understand why a nerf is necessary.

CDR and Glacial Augment making its slow stronger regardless.
