Sweeping Blade's ramping damage is entirely unnecessary, in my opinion. They should just give it more meaningful base damage - it's not like he needs an incentive to dash around. The issue at the moment is 140 magic damage at level 2 (most mages can't pull that off until level 3). It seems like a small window, but being able to do full-rotation burst at level 2 (especially if they're still level 1) can decide the lane on a snowballer. Riven keeps getting nerf-bashed for a similar reason - it's the level-2 insta-kill.

They could fix the problem by nerfing the low-rank damage, though: damage lowered to 30 / 60 / 90 / 120 / 150 from 70 / 90 / 110 / 130 / 150.
