Runeglaive is more powerful than Lichbane on Ez because Runeglaive applies spell effects, whereas Lichbane doesn't. This is a big deal because Ez's Q only procs on-hit effects, not spell effects. With Runeglaive he can proc spell AND on-hit effects with a single Q. What this means is, with Runeglaive, Ez can proc, for instance, Luden's passive with a single Q, whereas Lichbane wouldn't allow that, and this allows for MASSIVE damage on a very low cooldown. Not to mention that Q'ing Wraiths every once in a while will keep his mana high, allowing him to spam spells. I haven't seen it in game, but I can see why this feels so powerful right now.

Also, don't expect nerfs soon. Runeglaive in the PBE has increased AP (50, instead of 40) and increased ratios (100% base AD instead of 75%).
