Atziri's Acuity nerf is not a NEW MECHANIC or Double Standard!

so now i hv 60 chance to leech instantly if i crit

No. He's wrong. It's still instantly 100% of the time you crit at 60% the amount. He is either sleep deprived or under the influence.

Instantly is how fast the life is regenerating (or healing you, if it's instant, your life leech procs faster). In this case, the gloves used to be instant, but now only work 60% of the time. That's what I got out of reading the new description anyways. It's a numerical value difference only. 100% chance to proc life leech, down to 60%. It's a nerf, and it's by 40% which again, is a numeral value difference. There is no double standard, it's just GGG's way of re-wording the item description. (To make it more confusing or not, who knows)

This doesn't make much sense to me, in fact the whole thread of a thread doesn't make sense.

On a plus side there is a video about a thread of a thread that doesn't make sense, so always a silver lining.

But the instant part never changed. The life leech is still instant. There is no proc chance or anything. Effectiveness just means the leech amount is smaller. Like before you have 10% life leech and do 1000 damage = you leech 100 hp instantly. Now with 10% life leech and 1000 damage = you leech 60 hp instantly.

Yeah, but:

"Atziri's Acuity: The modifier that makes leech apply instantly on critical strikes now has it apply instantly at 60% effectiveness. Existing versions of this item are affected by this change."

The modifier that makes leech apply was the only thing that changed. It's not a new game mechanic for that specific item, it's just a lowered percent % chance to proc is my point man. (100% to 60%) chance (or percent).
