E is mostly an escape, and a potentially really good one at max rank. Her ulti's uses are a little the same uses as Lucian's ult, sniping or long range poke, and it has far higher range than said ult as well. As for applying on-hit, I don't think that would be balanced, Nashor's would increase the base damage by 75% and the scaling by 187,5%, that's a far larger power spike than Yasuo getting his Statikk Shiv, and would also encourage getting an attack speed item on a champion that's it completely wasted on. And applying LB in 800 targeted range is too powerful, also being able to proc is exactly once per 2 sec (or at least extremly close to). With 800 AP, the Q deals 420 damage/second if you can press 5 times per second, and up to 840 DPS maximum, which is imo impossible to do while not standing still and being sitting duck for skill shots. Although Cassio's E has a DPS of 1260 with the same AP, without being her only reliable damage source, so I'll buff the numbers a little.
