there are champs that need healing to survive
grievous wounds should not be so long but only an active for like 3 or 4 seconds
aatrox relies on healing swain as well
they get countered easily but champs with shields has no counter
hhaavviikk3 votesbecause that would just be stupid, grieveous wounds and healing counter system is stupid.
OP heals without it, shit heals with it, it's a bandaid system, much better if they were to actually balance the abilities.
also important difference being that heals stick around, shields don't
xGunna11 votesshields have surprise element if your enemy riven low and u engage he shield so much so ur calculations screwed but an aatrox u know his healing is halved cuz u counter him with last whisper item
Pieceofcandy2 votesIIRC they're planning to add an item to address this, no ETA but "Soon".

Applies Grievous Wounds for 8 seconds if you are under 35% health
Physical damage applies Grievous Wounds for 3 seconds.
Physical damage applies Grievous Wounds for 5 seconds.
Damaging this person applies Grievous Wounds for 1 second.
The only one that's long is Morello, and it's gated by lowing the person to that health before it even procs in the first place.
And shields really don't need anything to counter it because they are a 1 time thing that disappears after a few seconds. Someone could give you a 3000 hp shield, but that's completely irrelevant if they use it when you aren't taking damage. Whereas healing is there after the affect has worn off.
If you are 200 HP and I shield you for 100 HP, you have 200 HP after the shield wears off. But if I heal you for 100 HP, now you have 300 HP, so my heal lasts longer in a sense.
xGunna11 votesyes you are right about shields
but why healing is countered hard at least make it last few seconds not when you constantly getting hit = for ever Grievous Wounds
it should last 3 secs and then stops for like 40 sec cooldown so champs that relies on healing won't be useless like swain ult or aatrox w or at least they should get some compensation for being countered hard not like champs that spam sheilds every few secs
and teamfights are already short so you need that sheild in the right moment not when no team fight

BubblyRainbows1 votesHeals are permanent. Your health goes up and stays there until you are damaged again. Shields go away after a reasonably short duration (with very rare exceptions, such as Malphite passive). So they kind of need a counter for heals. Shields wear off on their own and the issue is solved.
