Why, in Riot's words
Umbral Glaive has been in a weak state for a while but we've been hesitant to just strictly buff it due to its extremely powerful passive. We've decided to tone down the frequency of the passive to be less oppressive against enemy vision while buffing its stats and cost. Overall we expect this to be a net buff to the item.
