that is actualy quite briliant, which is a rare thing to find on the wiki :P, its a neat ability that can make the game more entertaining as well as easy to balance as to not be op nor underpowered, that said, however, i forsee 2 issues with said ability.

first problem: they will need to remake some items/heroes to make reasonable, and i dont mean the healing heroes, i mean those with debuffs such as greivious wounds. the health freeze is a mechanic that would work only if its reasonably common, if its found only on one or two champs, it will just be ignored or used solowly in extreme counterpick scenarios, and will just be a complicated game of cat and mouse in champ select rather then a fun mechanic. however if they replace some grevious wound effects INTO health freeze (fizz's one for example would work much better then simple healing reduction) then the problem would be easily solved.

second (and the more legit) problem: many of the healing champions also have a buff on their heal that is not heal buff itself. for example saroka's heal also gives a great amount of armor. so while the ability will be probably still usfull during later stages of the game, it will backfire on you in laning. for example, lets say your a support (or ad carry) who has this ability, and your laning vs saroka and another ad carry. your planning to go for one of them, so you know you have to debuff them before saroka gets off a heal, problem is, the moment saroka sees you debuffing a guy she will imidiatly cast a heal on them, giving him bonus armor while he is probably still full hp, AND later, when he does take dmg, the heal will work. nidalee and kayle could potentialy have similiar issues with that spell, so there will be some tweeks/balances needed in order to make it work during laneups.

but overall, i still think its quite briliant
