Why, in Riot's words
Blade of the Ruined King has fallen out of favor recently. Meanwhile, there has been a rise in popularity of health stacking within the game, which means BoRK should be a more popular pick up. To help it get back on everyone's radar we're buffing the % health damage this item provides which is the item's biggest selling point and fantasy.
