Why not just remove/replace Minion Dematerializer?

High elo streamers/ex-pros as well as pros themselves basically say it's necessary to take this rune because it helps you skew the laning phase by getting a good (sometimes better) back. Sure you can't use it on the 1st cannon wave anymore this patch but the rune exacerbates the "waveclear problem" instead of solving it. Doesn't this rune go against Riot's philosophy & goals of wanting more PvP action? Once you clear your wave (specifically as a mage), you don't need to stay in the lane, unless you really want to harass your opponent. Destroying the tankiest minion (besides supers) in one shot & increasing your dmg to all subsequent minions of that type reduces interaction with your lane opponent. Your opponent basically has to match you with this rune to compete.

you afk shove and lose interactions with your lane opponent, but now have hella priority in your lane. therefore constantly free roam top/bot or partner with your jungler and hunt down the enemy jungler, or secure scuttle.

so its rather increasing interactions with the rest of the enemy team as a whole, in exchange for losing it with your enemy laner. at least that's my $0.02
