I personally don't think that a summoner spell should be countered by 35 gold.

Ignite has been one of my favourite spells on a lot of champs since I started playing League, but it seems it has gotten to be useless since it's tweaks and the changes to heal last season.

 By now everyone has figured out that you can just about negate the effects of an ignite merely popping a health pot. I don't really think that an entire spell should become null solely due to the cheapest consumable in the game. I don't care if they are saved by a heal or summoner heal, because that at least pops an ability or a spell for a spell.

 I don't think they should change the reduced healing on it because that would be WAY too strong, but I think it should have something like "applies grievous wounds and reduces the effects of potions by an additional ~20%."

 I don't know, I just don't think a useful spell like ignite should go the way of Revive. Just my opinion though. Comment if you agree or disagree.

Ignite out-damages a healing potion at all levels except for level 1 (bear in mind that the healing potion's effect is halved.)

You can still use a healing potion to counteract it a bit in the early levels, but it becomes increasingly less effective.

A health potion heals 150 HP over 15 seconds, or 10 HP per second.

Ignite has Grievous Wounds, which halves healing, and it deals 50(+20 per level) damage over 5 seconds, or 10(+4 per level) damage per second.

That's 5 HP gained for every 14/18/22/26/30/34/38/42/46/50/54/58/62/66/70/74/78/82 damage dealt.

If you see somebody regen through ignite with a health pot, they must have also had other sources of regen such as the Perseverance mastery.

not to mention people stop buying healing pots eventually and you always have ignite Ignite gets stronger and pots stay the same.

So yeah, no..
