The original problem with Tiamat is that it gave assassins and some bursty bruisers access to waveclear too early, making it a no-brainer that too often snowballed lanes harder than it should've. Since the item's getting its AD reduced now, it's less immediately attractive to AD-stackers, and therefore can afford to be a decent waveclear item without crowding out alternatives.
