Well, his current passive really only helps him in lane too (although it really helps him too much right now considering how his kit works... which is to harass from long range and not let you get close... so, a champ that is basically unharassable already just from how his abilities work also having virtual immunity to most harass by being able to heal it... hmmm, broken is the only word for it, and it is the only reason he is still playable at all right now with his low numbers and stats).

The health regen later on is not really noticeable, and won't make a difference in a late team fight. So yeah, looks like he's still getting a passive that is really only for laning and doesn't carry on to late game well, but that's true of a lot of passives... at least this one looks like it will give him some super mana sustain during the laning phase, which is nice, and it won't be so strong that they need to keep all his stats and ability ratios nerfed down to the ground just to make it possible to lane against him at all.
