Ali's heal value actually hasn't been changed since the Garen patch (V1.0.0.83) where it got changed to what it is today but, since then, it's gone through numerous mana cost increases. I could increase the mana cost so that the health per mana is the same but he does it in slightly bigger bursts so that there is some tradeoff.
