We removed QSS cancelling Death Mark, and Pink Wards countering Stealth Champs.

All in the supposed name of being able to balance said Champions now that a single item doesnt invalidate them.

When are we going to remove GW and retune Healing Champions around it?

is the majority of the reason GW needs to exist. The mechanic was retuned to affect all healing instead of just self-healing specifically because of her. In my mind, she's the only one who would need such retuning anyway, since the other heal-based Champions function fine when it's not bought, and barely at all when it is.

Other heal-based Champions?

needs to be in the middle of a 5v5 teamfight for his healing to reach maximum effectiveness. That's not the safest place to be in, his healing is also DoT-styled, and can be mitigated easily by burst. Furthermore, Swain's healing is tied to his mana pool, so the easiest and safest way to beat Swain is to kite and drain his mana, which given the current state of the game isnt tremendously difficult to do.

's main healing is on his ult, on a significant cooldown. It allows him to be more or less unkillable for a few seconds, but if he hasnt succeeded in whatever he was planning on doing when the healing is over, he's likely in a position where he'll die.

is burst heals on CDs, and his heals require fairly decent macro on the players part. His healing also hits maximum effectiveness the lower he is, which means the only way he'll escape dying is if he's that much closer to it.

every third AA. Very melee and very underwhelming.

is like Aatrox but not as underpowered.

has to step on his bloblets, which can be denied at all stages of the game and don't heal him for nearly the same amount as basically everyone above him.

GW is not a healthy mechanic, regardless of the fact that I main Vladimir. It's uninteractive, and denies stats that Champions have been balanced around being forced to function with. Imagine losing 40% of a core stat that you need because the ADC clicks on you.

Oh.
