It's not that it's being nerfed because it's popular. It's being nerfed because of its slot efficiency. Can you think of an MR item you'd rather have on anything that isn't GA before getting a SV? The people it's disproportionately good on (manaless bruisers) are crowding out all of the mana users from top lane because of this item. 20% more spam, 20% more sustain, and the second most potent MR item in the game. Currently outside of certain cases (90% phys enemy team) there's no reason to not get a Spirit Visage, THAT'S why they're nerfing it.
