I think riot is figuring out that grevious wounds are a pretty unhealthy game mechanic to have just sitting around in a kit for no reason. Greivous wounds are useless a lot of the time, but when they are good it completely destroys a champion's kit. Take mundo for example, if he is hit with grevious wounds he becomes almost completely useless. They want champions that are shut down by grevious wounds to have a chance to outplay the mechanic, like when it is on ignite only they can keep track of the cooldown and know when it is safe to fight or not, instead of just getting completely destroyed because MF pressed W. That is part of the reason they are trying to make athenes viable again, because morello being the main AP mid item is having serious unseen impacts on sustain champions overall and it isnt really healthy for the game.

I wouldn't be surprised if they later decided to make the grevious wounds only affect targets after she has 5 stacks of her W on them or maybe when they are in her ulti/E. This way there is something the enemy can do to outplay the mechanic.
