Maybe "worthless" wasnt the best choice of words, but 50%- to 20% is a huge blow unless you are stacking all resistance gear. I have a friend who uses crushing advance, he likes it. I think its cooldown is a bit long however.
I can't help but feel like you're missing the essential context of this nerf: All enemy damage is being lowered in amounts exceeding what would be required to simply offset the nerf on the ability.
Meaning: Post 1.05, with Warcry: Impunity you will take LESS damage than you do currently. If you don't use Warcry:Impunity, you will take LESS damage than you do on live. Basically if you already don't use Warcry, you will take less damage in 1.05. If you already do use warcry, after 1.05 with war cry you will take less damage.
No matter how you slice it, you take less damage in 1.05 unless you use war cry now and drop it in 1.05. Anyone who stays using it or continues to not use it will take less damage.
Step 1: Discover suspicious activity
Step 2: Observe, verify suspicions
Step 3: Determine how bot/hack operates
Step 4: Design and test countermeasures
Step 5: Banwave, enact countermeasures.
Just a quick tip: If you make step 3 a ban, not even in waves, you only tip your hand and the bot/hack folks get the chance to:
Step 1: Determine how bot/hack was detected/tracked
Step 2: Design and test new methods of hooking in to the game process
Step 3: LoL @ blizzard for failing to actually hose you before you could come up with more workarounds because they told you they found your means & methods.
So chill out. They can't just ban willy nilly or they only increase the speed at which bots & hacks evolve, like an arms race.
They've seen it. They not only have to prove it against their standards, and figure out how the bot functions so they can block it.
If they just ban every case at a time, that only speeds up how often bot writers find new methods & means to hook into the game.
Banwaves when they are ready to squish a bot is better than just an instant and continual arms race.
It serves no purpose to blindly ban and never address how it works so you can work to prevent it.

Therefor: Ability nerfed, Overall survivability buffed.

Wonder what it would be divided into days compared to the # of days the game has been out...
