It's a buff if your opponent's effective MR is more than 33 (MR after penetration).

Notably, minions have 0 MR, so it's a 25% nerf to healing from minions. It heals more from champions in almost all cases now.

This is reminiscent of the Irelia ult change, you heal less from minions, so less healing overall, but more from champions, incentivizing trading. In this case though, vlad's healing against minions was so overkill, I think he should barely feel the nerf, making it an effective buff.

In practice, it's unlikely to affect him very much.
