Was the ward fade time increased?

Cause it really feels like it did. Litle later on, most champs with no AS can now kill a ward. It only takes like .85 AS to kill it by yourself now. Hell, I can get a hit, walk away a second, and get a second hit on it. Used to barely get 2 if I got it the millisecond it was put down. Not complaining, would just like confirmation.
