Ali's heal is different than most other heals since it isn't a "burst" heal with high base/ap scaling numbers, and I think it works out for him and his kit.

Like Soraka's ult, it can potentially heal everyone on the team, they just need to be close by. Its strength is that it clocks down due to its passive when pushing lane or in teamfights and becomes spammable, which is why he can achieve more healing than other supp champs.

What would be neat tho is if he could target an ally for the main heal and everyone else around him including the Ali gets the half heal, but for now he'll have to rely on his skills to ensure they (the single target that a targetable heal would grace with the full heal) are not bursted before he gets off more roars.
