Urf still fun?

I get that the people playing the really stron champs are having fun... but is it really better that everyone simply gets destroyed by Ezreal than it was to have Alistar actually able to counter him with heals? His ultimate clears a minion wave late, but early they're just alive enough for Alistar's heal to do nothing significant. I prefered when the heals were left at full, so that the picks didn't have to be someone insanely spammy with damage or Galio/Udyr. Sona gets banned, so there's no healer who really makes a difference.
