3% out of 15% is 1/5 of the pre nerf attack speed being taken out.

So you pay 20 less gold for an item that gives you 1/5 less attack speed.

If you think of it that way, doesn't it feel like ouch? Anyways, the nerf to attack speed isn't in isolation. Remember that the new armor penetration method means your attacks will penetrate more armor, so keep in mind you might not need those extra attacks to kill someone.
