He will still be too weak

The problem isnt his cooldowns, its that he has nothing but his q, which gives us two options:

1) Massive buffs to the value of e as a laning spell (you cant use it without killing yourself until you have lvl 9 q) so he would be more similar to annie or ryze, a traditional mage

2) (my prefered method) Buff the range on q to 675. This makes him a poker, and has less of a chance of making his lategame damage output too strong
