Very true, the definitely decreases early game survivability, (that 80 health is pretty damn huge) but it is important remember that  offers on-hit healing rather than.

What that basically means is that the net healing from is going to be greater than  in the early game until  can deal  on-hit. So is still the go-to item against enemy poke supports since  has very weak lifesteal synergy early game.
