No, I understood (Remember that I have been since the first iteration of the kit... and is not like I can refresh my memory reading comments below :V), but currently the ultimate's effect is Ravenous Hydra's Cleave. And now that you mention the initial Linear AoE, rather than the current Circular AoE, wouldn't that be still fulfilled by Titanic Hydra?

I don't mean that the effect is bad, is good and fitting, but if what you incorporated to the kit exists in an item, why not make the kit work towards it rather than having it build in? It would still make synergy with the kit, and grant the same effect.

And all of this is arguing without saying "Its OP", because is not... rather unhealthy if combined with RH, because you would be splashing 125% AD to 60% AD based on the splash, and all of it would benefit from lifesteal. That's the problem: As both effects would stack, you end up with an extreme scenario that benefits the champion too much to be healthy.
