GW is too binary

Grievous wounds got removed on MF's W, because she could autowin trades. Cool. But apart from the discussion over "that was her identity" "she's supposed to be a lane bully and a trade winner", this brings a question to the table: why does healing reduction need to always be 50%, never less and never more? Why can't Kata have 20% GW on her ukt instead of 50? Why can't Morello have 1% healing reduction for each 1% of the target's missing health or so? Why can't Olaf have like 10% GW on autoattacks?

they want to remove it so they can buff/nerf healing more directly. It's part of a larger overarching scheme to fix sustain heavy champs such as Mundo, Vlad, and Akali, first they need to phase out grievous wounds outside ignite (which is OK because it is a summoner spell on a very lengthy cooldown designed to secure kills), and then they will be able to go through case by case and buff/nerf all forms of healing and sustain in the game. Is lifesteal too good on ADC? they can change it accordingly. Is mundo just way too fracking hard to kill? they can nerf his ult in good conscience that it won't leave him helpless against a champ with sustain cancelation.
