1: The range nerf on Q only looks massive, if you notice, the last patch on this wiki says: Cast range reduced to 650 from 700[sic]. The sic has a footnote: Range has not been changed from 675 since V1.0.0.111. Which was his mana rework that buffed the range from 600 to 675. In short, he lost 25 range, big whoop.

2: His damage at all levels was increased in the last patch. Early game because 20 base damage on Q is a much bigger deal than 1% of mana (about 4-6 damage early) and .5% on his W (half that). Late game .2 AP buff means you need about 5 AP per 100 mana AFTER 2000 mana (which is required to equal new base damage). Thats 100 AP at 4000 mana, so clearly a scaling buff. (W nerf is more than compensated by E mana buff).

3: His E got huge usability buffs. His R is actually useful now with the MS addition.

4: HE CAN FUCKING LAST HIT. God this annoyed me, he got such an AA buff now he ends laning phase at much higher cs and doesn't have to burn mana to last hit.

So he poke harder at 25 less range, deals more damage late game, is stronger in teamfights, and his E and R are no longer dump skills. Only other nerf was .25 seconds from his W. I'll take it gladly, buff patch for sure.
