It lost 150 health. A single Ruby Crystal worth of health. 500 Health is still in the top teir of health items. And because slows no longer stack, no Rylai's is not always the best choice. It gives less AP and less health and no mana.

And if you're buying Seraph's for mana then you'll also be getting RoA anyway, RoA now gives the most AP in the game when combined with Seraph's. The trifector of RoA, Seraph's, Deathcap is very much buffed.

The same people who built RoA before still build it, Anivia, Swain, Singed, Kassadin, KogMaw, Maokai, Karthus, etc. Only now a lot more people also build it, Sona, Soraka, Fiddlesticks, Annie, Brand, Lissandra, etc.

What happened to RoA was pure buffs.
