Is ancient coin not being bought much?

I've been asking other support main friends their feelings of the changes and it mostly comes to the same conclusion. without hp regen compared to relic they are forced to not be as engaging, thus the other lane has the upper hand of controlling the lane and freezing to their needs (kinda been that way, but no hp regen so they can't regen damage taken.) Which then harms the coin user as the only way to keep the same gold use is to put themselves in danger to gain rewards. Well the relic spell thief users that have recharge times can use those for roaming to acquire assists etc. well the coin user has to choose between which he finds more important and may put them further behind. The actual passive it gives a skill point doesn't offer the same benefit of the others either as it sets a time limit for you rather than giving you something beneficial for having waited so long to acquire it and put yourself in those dangerous positions.

Anyways I wanted to hear anyone elses thoughts on the issue rather and see what other opinions lie out there.
