Having 100 armor which essentially cuts his Q in half still gives it an effective AP ratio of .6 on a ~2s recast ,depending on the build.

Thats more effective damage than the respective Qs of Xerath, Ziggs or Orianna, on a shorter cooldown, albeit single target.

But if we compare it similar single target skillshot abilities, it does more damage than kennen's Q for example, or brand's (etc) on a shorter cooldown, at a longer range.

Sure, it will do less damage to a tank, who will have more armor, but they shouldn't be who you're targeting anyways. You can easily use his E for positioning/damage and still have it be back off cooldown in time for a retreat/chase if needed.
