I do find their use of strike-out abhorrent. And even worse they fade it out so it is difficult to read for those interested in comparing the old and the new numbers. I think simply fading it would do the same job and make it readable and clear what are the old numbers compared to old.

I do have an objective reason for the first change though. Since the new value is presented first you absorb that piece of information but you usually have no idea (unless you already know the old value of every champ/item/etc in which case yer a total geek with eidetic memory) how much it has changed. So you take a look at he old value which is presented second. So you absorb the new value and look back at the old value to see how much the difference is.

With the old to new scheme you see the old value first absorb that info and then you cast your view onto the new value. From there you can directly compare how big is the difference of the change being made. 1 less step to do.

I do agree with your point that my proposed 2nd change could be confusing and would not want to make a change in doing things unless they have a clear benefit to them.
