I know, most abilities are ballanced around BONUS AD, like Talon's ult. So rank one will deal 240 damage, rank 2 will deal 380 and rank three will deal 520 (notice an approximate 1, 1.6, 2.2 ratio, though it's not exact).

This ability scales with TOTAL AD, so the base damage is actually:

(Base damage + Base AD) while the scaling is Bonus AD

When you consider it this way, he has 105 base AD at level 16.

Thus, the base damage could be considered to be: 584 at rank 1. 944 at rank 2 and 1304 at rank 3. This is about a 1, 1.6, 2.2 ratio.

That's why the base damage is so low early, because you have to take into account the base AD will make it deal strong damage regardless of Bonus AD or base damage, unlike something with bonus AD scaling, like talon's ult.
