What impact should patch 23.2.2 have on the HS Battlegrounds meta?

With Battlegrounds patch 23.2.2, the Nagas lose a lot of efficiency. But this is also the case for Fungimancer Flurgl, who sees his composition weaken in the late game. The compositions should therefore be more diverse, and not focus on seafood.
