I think they're removing it all together. (Grievous wounds)

That way when they do, they can just make heals weaker all together.

Balancing heals in this game has always been weird imo. You had to balance them with somehow making them strong but not too strong and then on stop of that make it to GW doesn't just straight up destroy the heal. Because if GW was in the game there'd be no reason to pick a healer, thus no reason to even have GW.

imo GW made balancing heals really really really hard, so they're just removing it and most likely weakening healing all together. (with a possible few excepts with maybe Soraka but that is always up for debate.)

Honestly the problem with that though is, heals would then run the risk of becoming too weak (hell, certain people's healing is BARELY noticeable already until a significant amount of time has passed).

Basically I feel you would really be risking turning already bad heals into garbage, and decent heals into bad heals (to the point that even lategame healers like Swain and Vlad would just have their heals outdamaged to the point of it being useless to them).

I think the best route to go here is simply to make an AD equivalent to morellonomicon that ISN'T terrible (RIP executioner's calling)
