Day XX: They still don't realize...

{quoted}

Odd, Considering that coin is the only Support item that requires your ADC to do well, it's gold gen should be better in pro play. (But pro's can make any support work with or without gold)

Coin doesn't give a shit how your adc does. You automatically get a blue coin and a gold coin per wave of minions. You get a coin of the type you didn't get last per cannon. You eventually get a coin that counts as both coins per kill and assist after completing your quest. You don't have to worry about the success of your adc to use coin.

But I still don't know the why. We have correlation but not Causation. Why is Coin Broke? Why does it make it's champion base Broke? Is the gold generation to much for them? Or is it the mana coins making them infinite utility bots? Both? Is the coin spawn rate too much? Is the pick up radius too forgiving?

I'll explain quickly

Coin was considered bad because its old quest was "get a skill point faster". Lousy reward, because ultimately supports don't really care about a measly skill point + it's a reward with finite value. Riot decides that, to remedy this, they'd up coin's gold gained from pick ups on top of beefing up its quest reward. Why was this too much? Let's see:

• Coin's drop radius increases after 650 gold.

• Coin gives all kills and assists a flat 40 gold bonus value increase after 650 gold. Sometimes the damn coin drop has more value than the assist gold you got it off of.

• Coin gets an ACTUAL quest reward, which is increased MS towards the holder, after 650 gold.

So on top of giving the damn thing blatantly more gold gen, it literally has 3 quest rewards. How does nerfing Ardent Censer address this problem? How does buffing STE fix this problem? How many times do I have to keep spam posting about coin until someone realizes this is a problem? I don't fucking know.
