There probably was some influence by QQing, but this is fairly balanced. Consider just some base comparisons: If you get ruby crystal as Vlad, that's 175 hp, so on the old innate that's 7 AP, or about a 150 gold benefit for free. While Vlad lacks good cc, that's a pretty overpowered 30% bonus. The other ratio was fine; for a amp tome, getting 20 AP for 435, and 38 hp (about 103 gold).

The hp-to-AP ratio of the innate doesn't change any Vlad builds much; even if you split your gold evenly between hp and AP, You get 62% AP of pure-AP Vlad, compared to 65% AP before (and buying any more hp than that on Vlad is stupid, because he's a crappy nearly cc-less tank). Stop complaining, the nerf is minor.
