Ancient Coin rework

item 3301 has been an issue for quite a few patches now. I believe the way this item is designed is the problem. The way I would design it is like a greedy start, kinda like a item 1082 start for mid laners: great snowball potiential but worthless if behind/get crushed in lane. Of course, in order to archieve this goal, we need to change how this item works:

item 3301 5% cdr 2 gold per 10 seconds New effect: Enemy minions killed by your allies sometimes drop coins that are worth 25 gold each (Nomad's Medallion transform that into 40 gold per coin). Champions slained close to you will give super Coins : coins with double the gold value. Coins will only give you gold once you recall back to the fountain EDIT: Or it could triggers on champion kills like Draven's passif. All coins collected are lost upon death. *Basically, see this passif as some kind of Draven passif but instead of having to kill someone, you have to recall. This may sounds very easy to do but remember that recalling early for 2 coins will make you lose xp and it's probably not really worth it.

Coins that give mana Quest: Gather 650 gold using this item and upgrade to Nomad's Medallion. Reward: Allied champions close to you get 8% movement speed.

Basically, it's now a very greedy item to buy if you can manage to get lead, you will have the edge over your opponent. Get crushed and you have a worthless item in your item slot.

If the coins that give mana are removed, people will go a different item. I honestly don't think people will use it if the mana coins are removed, but of course, that's just my view on the item. I don't think the gold that Ancient coin is OP. Maybe it should be toned down a bit, but to be told to play the lane SUPER safe to make sure you don't lose your coins will just make botlane the most stale lane possible.

Here's how you fix coin.

You make it intentionally bad but reliable, to be used by bad players who can't reliably proc spellthief's edge or reliably execute with FotM.

item 3301 5% cdr

Sees that cooldown reduction has been removed

*Refuses to ever build the item and tosses it into the bin with item 3056 *
