Which would you rather have?

replace bond with SotA and make it trigger on nearby minion kills. lol.

horrible idea actually

Courage late game in team fights is way more affective than Strength of the Ages if you have any type of CC to engage.

strenght any day

Why not both? They should have just kept strength and added CotC to the tree along with an additional keystone in the others. Maybe a new on-hit favoring one in ferocity and another supporty one in cunning.

Courage. Feels more impactful.

It depends on the way you play and what champ you want. SotA is good for sustain and anyone that builds health and uses AA's. Personally, i find Courage more useful as a pantheon main since my W gives me that Courage shield + my passive shield.
