The perfect hex core is slightly better at level 18, but all of them are worse at most stages of the game. It's honestly probably not worth upgrading beyond the first time (for the empowered E) until lategame.

I think the general idea is that it was a nerf, but they distracted us from that fact by pushing some of that (reduced) power into levels instead of flat amounts.
