Why does Riot always insist they know what the players want, and force it down our throats?

As far as I'm aware and have read, very few people wanted this Ancient Coin changes. No one wanted to lose Elixir of Power, nor did anyone want a lazy effort at making the coin better by slapping Janna's passive onto it. That is the most boring and simplistic solution that wont solve much. Now Janna's pick rate is going to skyrocket in tournaments, ranked and normal and she'll either get nerfed into the ground, or receive a brand new passive. All because of an item, as usual, with Riot's history.

There were so many ideas being pitched at Riot as solutions for the Coin's quest line, and not once did I read people discarding the current effect of it granting a bonus skill point.

Talisman of Ascension still remains to be the most boring and lame item ever, due to its trash component Raptor's Cloak that Riot is desperate to include in their game. Make it build out of Tear of the Goddess, or Forbidden Idol instead. Gear it towards the champions it was meant to help: defensive supports.

Just stop trying to force shit down our throat and act like it's what your player base wanted. There's less and less communication lately, when time and time again you guys say it's bad and needs improvement. Where's the effort? Where's the inclusion of your player base? You guys have gone radio silent again lately, and it's pretty infuriating.
