@Riot Can Mikaels get compensation buffs on its active after it's losing 25% of its H&S please :(

One of the best item designs in the game, a (weaker) QSS for a teammate that probably has the highest skill ceiling an item can possibly have. I'm totally biased since I love Mikael's, but I hope people and Riot understand why I'm confused and upset over Mikael's being nerfed the hardest out of all the other healing and shielding items.

Mikael's is the least sought-after support item right after item 3056 and item 3060 I feel like. The active's cooldown is 120 seconds (compared to item 3140/item 3139 being 90), doesn't remove surpressions, airbornes, or knockups (like item 3140/item 3139 do) and the only thing it gets in return for this is an extra second of movement speed compared to item 3139 if you have a successful cleanse and slow resist for 2 seconds (which is really nice to be fair).

Supports should feel really good about using a well-timed item 3222, but it's hard to when you have no reason to buy the item anymore. All the CC is stuff that it doesn't cleanse, the cooldown seemingly lasts years, and it's impossible to justify getting item 3222 over item 3107, item 3504, item 3190, item 3109, or whatever else you can buy.

TL;DR: The best designed, and one of the least popular, support item should not be getting the hardest nerf without a buff to its active (in my opinion). You should buy the item almost solely for its active, not its passive (or stats, please don't buff the stats Riot)
