It is a good change, it's a tanky AP item, people who are tanky generally want to be closer to make use of their tankiness.

Also Swain and Ryze will still buy it because it has good stats for them. (Especially Swain because of his ult, more often than not people will still be within the aura range). It's also a pretty good item for morgana because she still values tankiness and the initial hit from her ult will still benefit from the aura.
