Ignite needs some compensation buffs for the nerf to grievous wounds.

Grievous wounds is now 20% less effective (50% to 40%) and doesn't effect outside healing, such as from Soraka.

Early game a solo laner chugging an HP potion heals around 6 more hp during that ignite; a fairly small difference, but frequently the difference between a kill or not.

But more importantly, it removed the most important aspect of ignite's kill potential in duo lanes and team fights; the heal reduction from supports and allies with summoner heal.

Ignite is already crowded out as a summoner, why does it need to be even worse.

Good point. I think though that RIOT didn't actually forget about it: in my opinion they're just waiting to assess the current big changes before dishing out smaller adjustments.

After all, a rise of squishy markswo/men in lanes other than bot and with better sustain should be followed by a rise of bursty casters (aka assassins), who usually do well with Ignite and tend to snowball out of control if given the chance...

Talon and Rengar should perform quite well, zed is worse off in all honesty, thanks to mercurial being better. Soraka is ridiculous now. Even in 5.21 she was banned frequently, now its a must.
