@ZomsX I highly doubt that. It was intended to be a weakness you needed to play around, not a strength. It wasn't a just bonus 80 ap, it shifted some of the survivability Soraka could get from defensive items from herself to her team. It fit her theme well, sacrificing herself for others.

@TheMysticPotato Maybe it was something along those lines. Most of the popular defensive items have health as well, so it's possible they thought that was enough of a weakness.
