I want to calmly remember everybody that life steal% will work correctly in new patch, and Ventress has freaking 45%. If that's as it sounds, 45% damage done as self heal, it's freaking awesome.
Just food for thought. Maybe we should wait a little and see the real patch (as opposed to patch notes) before we go full chicken little and start to cry that sky is fallen. If once the patch arrives, Ventress is bad, then we can cry as much as we want. I have a 4* purple Ventress, and I'm actually excited to see if she is viable next patch (Cause she is not right now)
