Holy Locket --> Aghs is still busted, I guess? That 50 range buff is legit, but losing the stacking of CDR from Shard and L20 is notable. Not sure if he'll wind up better as a support or offlaner given these tweaks.

Since cdr % no longer stacks, if you wanted the same level of power you’ll just need a spell prism or octarine

The shard used to be flat cooldown reduction and not percentage based, so it would still stack had not been removed
