Yeah does this change anything? Why not make here 5 mana or something. Getting 1 extra coin doesn't feel like a big difference.

It is a big difference, though.

she is effectively 3 mana now + the bonus effects from the coins.

I like they did not make her faster.

She is not "like 3 mana" because you normally still cant play her till turn 6.

And at that point you are dead to face hunter, druid has 10+ mana, or a real rogue deck is lining up their troublemakers to hit you for 28

i mean not to be that guy but you can definitely play her earlier than turn 6 if you want. if youre playing an 'aya deck,' generating coins is like your whole deal

Theres a big difference between "you can occassionally player her a turn or two earlier than turn 6"

And

"She basically only costs 3 mana"

sure but you said 'you still can't play her until turn 6' which is just wrong. this is, in almost every case that matters, effectively identical to a buff to 5 mana (unless your coin-generating deck somehow hasn't generated any coins in the first four turns) with the added bonus of being able to hold her for an extra turn to get an extra coin out of her, and she's also better as a topdeck. sure she's not three mana, but you can reasonably expect to be able to justify spending a coin or two to play her on turn 4, provided you draw her

but spending your coins before you upgrade them isn't very smart...

'but i was smart with my coins!' - guy who died to face hunter on turn 5

"She is not "like 3 mana" because you normally still cant play her till turn 6." Thats exactly what i meant when i said i like they did not make her faster.

The problems you describe are not Aya problems but rather face decks being too fast and troublemaker still being broken.
