Befoul - How effective is it?

Befoul - increases effectiveness of healing reduction abilities by [x]%. Total 33% at 100 CP.

I remember a while back in the AoE cap's thread, Wrobel mentioned that the Befoul CP passive is additive and that tool-tip's on ability's are actually wrong and state the wrong value's.

Can anyone confirm this is true? Wrobel has since changed his quote to something else but my memory of his talk about Befoul live's on.

Is Befoul useless?

I play console and do not have any damage log's to check my number's. Even so, i don't have a enemy healer who i could applie Defile on to to test this out in PvP.

From Champion Passive Rework thread:

Wrobel:

We also want to make an edit to the original post. Befoul is currently working correctly, however we do want to ensure it's a proper counter weight to the increased healing passive. Apologies for the confusion. We've updated the last section on clarity and replaced the example so it now reads as follows:

“It’s unclear exactly how some champion passives work just by reading their tooltips. For example, Spell Erosion and Piercing are looking at the attackers stats instead of the defenders so the number don't end up being what you may expect. We’ll be cleaning up instances of tooltips like this so they are easy to understand.”

Before this example was on Befoul specifically but edited for clarity.

Wrobel state's Befoul act's as a counter to many healing cp passive's. If Befoul was additive this would certainly be the case. In the following example, tool-tip's are said to be off and need cleaning up. Not sure if this is talking about Befoul as well.

Any insight on this discussion would be great. Is Befoul actually additive? Can anyone test this?

Not going as far as "useless", but simply outshined by how good cost reduction and resource regeneration (add dodge roll / break free cost reduction for PvP) are.

With a bigger CP cap, I would actually consider it.
