Why is Talisman getting nerfed this hard?

>Cost lowered from 2400 to 2200 % Base Health Regen lowered from 175% to 50% Now gives 400 Mana Armor lowered from 45 to 40 [Removed] Unique Passive: Point Runner

-125% Health Regen, -5 armour, and removing the entire passive just for mana and it being 200 less gold? I thought Talisman was already unpopular and pretty bad, why is it being nerfed?

This change is honestly quite baffling to me.

Point runner was the the biggest appeal of the item imo. I understand that the item often felt too expensive but christ. My only guess is they are trying to cement it as the more general item and giving it mana to appeal to to tankier supports? Idk its weird.

What tanky support goes Coin though? It seems like super little thought went into the Coin line changes.

Thresh and Alistar come to mind. Same with Blitzcrank. While they do fine with Relic Shield, there are situations where i feel Coin line would be good on them. Point Runner and the active made it easier to get on top of people for them and Thresh has to use his E passive to execute minions with Relic.

Blitz will appreciate the Mana now i guess.

There was literally a board today begging Riot to make Coin give mana instead of CDR.

Because they are changing passives around. Different items are going to have the Point Runner passives and since stacking passives doesn't work anyway they just chose to remove it from this item.

So they effectively removed the health regen and 5 armour for what?

Talisman isn't bad as is. Its active is great in/against some comps.

That said, rip Soraka
