The howling abyss healing nerf makes me sad and happy at the same time. My favorite role is support and my favorite supports all have heals (Nami, Janna, Soraka) that will get hit pretty hard by this change. On the other hand though I find playing against heal supports (namely Sona) incredibly frustrating if my team doesn't have the perfect composition to deal with it. This change should definitely knock Sona's 70% win rate down a couple notches which is good but I worry what sort of effect it will have on high poke champs like Heimer, Kog and Ziggs who aren't that far behind her at 63% win rate.

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out, poke comps benefit from sustain just as much, if not more, than they are hindered by it so it could affect arams a bit more than what it seems on the surface. I'm happy to see that Riot's taking a part in balancing the game mode a bit, maybe we'll see more changes as time goes on.
