Warmogs returned to ARAM?

Today I had a game where people were using Warmogs again on ARAM after it had been removed, but there was no official announcement regarding the item returning, which makes me wonder if it's return was an accident? If anyone has info regarding it, I'd appreciate some links.

WARMOG’S ARMOR REMOVAL And last but not least, Warmog’s Armor. There was a lot of discussion about this item in the wake of its removal for the event, both supporting and opposing its absence. Many of you raised the valid concern that poke is still a very dominant strategy in ARAM, and that Warmog’s Armor was one of the few ways to itemize against it. In an environment without Warmog’s, we did in fact see win rates for mages go up, by about 2 percentage points across the board.

We still believe that Warmog’s Armor in its current state does not belong in ARAM, but it’s become clear that we should change it or replace it with a new anti-poke item rather than simply removing it. In the meantime, Warmog’s will return.

They have to keep it in for the casual player that make mistake after mistake after mistake. If they didn't have this crutch they would quit the game and RIOT needs their dollars.

Instead of finding a way to counter poke, just directly touch poke itself. Give a lower mana regen to everyone, same as the global healing nerf. item 3083 isn't a counter to poke when it literally negates poke while making such ridiculous situations such as a fighter going in, killing 2 targets, leaving with 1% health and coming back to 100% in a few seconds
