Well its how I"ve always played and continue to play, bcause I consider gold rage an "IOH CRAP" ability that I Use in ONLY those situations, as its suppose to be used - because I have that old hoard mentality .This was our style of fight for years and years.
It's what'd happen with GR nerf. I was here to see how bad it was back then.
But anyone can experience that playstyle and what its like to wait for all those ability timers, and feel how under-powered those abilities are - just don't use GR unless you're about to die, and don't even use SS unless its realy necessary.
But I think a GR nef would be perfectly fine - as long as SIMULTANEOUSLY the other abilities got their timer cooldowns shortened, and several of the ones meant to be "bigger damagers" (i.e. ravage, galewind, etc.) got their damaged upped a bit each to make up for the nerf to GR.
