Spammable skills is his whole character design, though. Riot said they wanted him constantly summoning new minions throughout the game at their E3 promo thing where we first saw Yorick, Leona, and Skarner. His minions are weak on their own, but since you can keep summoning them one after the other they can start to become a bother. Removing his ability to spam skills in the lane, which is the only place where minions are really worth anything, pretty much kills his whole design.
