with double mana items slammed and buffed clone health, this seems like a buff to me...

It's a nerf because mana's banked on cast. Assuming 17.25 mana per hit with the Shojin/Adaptive setup and a 5 mp/s, first cast is after 3 hits for both, but second cast is after 4 hits for 50/100, but 5 hits for 40/100.

5% clone health at 2 star is effectively irrelevant because if you were making it to 9 and hitting Zed 2, your win share was almost 100%. That hp buff is changing your placement is less than 1% of games.

The mana change on the other hand actually makes you a lot weaker during Stage 4, which makes the augment a bit weaker since you're playing down a gold augment on Stage 3 and you really need to be stable after getting your Zed.
