I still think it would, with 20 hp -> Ap that means you could build him with a lot of hp and still have a good amount of AP. Meaning you built tanky to do damage. Not exactly healthy for the game.

To put this in perspective, Warmog's which is an "Ok" buy but definitely not great for your offensive power becomes an amazing item for offense because you get approx 50 Ap from it. Not counting Juggernaut mastery in defense which is another 2 AP+whatever bonus it adds from your base hp.

Liandry's which is balanced around having low AP in exchange for magic pen and % hp shred now will have 65 Ap for vlad rather than 57.5. And don't get started on Rylai's, another 25 AP. All in all you get way too much free stats for building hp if they reverted it. It would lead to an instant nerf.
