Doran's Shield buff was a great update, but what about the 'Second Wind' rune?

Second Wind is in my opinion the worst rune in the whole Resolve tree. Picking Conditioning over Second Wind would make no difference in the laning phase because that's the amount SW heals for, nearly nothing.

Basically if you're healthy you receive approx +0.5 HP per second for 10 seconds after taking damage. If you're weak you receive approx +2 HP per second for the same duration. At the end you get the most regeneration when you have to recall...Great! Not only that but 10 seconds is a really long duration, you never regenerate all the HP before taking more damage.

How come Doran's Shield receives a logical and needed buff, where it decreases the healing duration to 8 seconds, and second Wind still heals minimum HP for 10 seconds?

second wind is a situational rune, it gets super strong on late game tanks like sion, cho, ornn, mundo, etc. buffing it would make these tanks immortal with the ocean dragon shit

I don't know how it is for other tanks/juggernauts, but I know that for me on Nasus, the healing it provides is similar to the damage provided to others by Electrocute and Comet. I find it hard to complain about a regular mastery that, at least for me, keeps up with keystones.
