I don't think it's a big nerf. If you're talking about early game, then yes. But 150 more damage doesnt really make a big difference lategame, and now it can do more damage later. Look at it this way: lategame, a full built or  has +600 AP. With just 600 ap, lets make some calcs. With 100 AP, it deals 40 bonus damage. Then, 40x6 = 240 bonus damage, which adds up to a total of 390 damage. Not a big deal, since thats just 90 more right? With a pure offense build it might reach ~800 AP. With 800, 40x8 = 320, which makes it to 490. 500 more damage it's something already noticeable on squishes. Don't forget the slow we already had and that's still here. Now, add that up with a cdr of 3 every AA. Not a big deal on casters, but since now you will deal more damage late game it wasn't a nerf, was a change. Nerf early, buff late. Now Hybrid YI can spam the active 24/7 :D. - Enerdy
