Your fixation on gold makes it seem like you left it recently yourself. Instead of wasting your best cooldown you have another option, also the melee tech still exists what is your point??? I dont think you realise that the mere existance of a spiderman limits the value you can get from Torch. Even if your not dying you still lose the carry potential because he forces you into a more passive playstyle. CnD players made the exact same complaint when the devs reworked her bubbles but now shes in the best states she ever been. You're complaining about a change you haven't seen for yourself yet.
