ive seen many morgana's picking ancient coin now instead of spellthiefs If spellthiefs isnt even being run on morg, who in the game would still run it? Also, im not sure why they decided to remove the ability to proc spellthiefs more than once on one spell

Spellthiefs is the best of the support items at the moment.

Relic has been getting nerfed constantly.

I still run spelltheifs on morgana.

Unless im in an unfavorable match, then I coin.

The "needs an ally" nerf destroyed spell thief

You have to play extremely aggressive or need a favorable matchup to earn significantly more with spellthiefs than with the other two options, which puts you on a clock and forces you to look for interactions even unfavorable ones, while the opponent support can go even or "out farm" you by simply playing safe.

This was not a problem when you could proc spellthiefs more often outside of the laning phase, but now that all support items have a similar range restriction this advantage has been lost.

now you take it for the dmg or you go coin.

I think coin gives out a little too much gold for how unbelievably safe it is. Spellthiefs generally gives out a LOT more gold if you're able to make good use of it. No idea why Morg would ever opt for coin though, considering how easy it is for her to use her W to get gold from it.

Ancient Coin is better when you play safely. But for aggressive play Spellthief is far more better. And I can't really imagine to play that öuch safely with Morgana tho.
