They are changing this for the whole  quality of the game. Not just so you cant stay in lane longer. They are trying to make it easier for EVERYONE by limiting the strngths of a few. Honestly, I have NEVER stacked HP pots, the longest sustain stuff I have used would be Elixir/Pots/Ward. But that is my usual start on everything besides jungle so yea.

Overall, if you cant stay in lane with a champion versus someone who is stacking HP pots, then that isnt a problem with the pots, thats a issue with the champ your against. irelia is a perect example, she can destroy you early on without ANY items, but can continue to do it with little to no effort because shes easy to manage mana-wise and with her W plus the pots, she can stay indefiently. It syenergizes with secific champs but nothing else. I have ran into a few players that do this and ALWAYS destroy them, Ill just harass them constantly and make them waste their pots. Most champs need damage or tankiness and pots give neither, just sustain. Sustan is easy to counter as long as it isnt something like Warwick's Q which is instant.
