I definitely think the Empowered Q needed nerfing. The fact that at level 2 he could practically one-shot squishies with one fast combo and with no counterplay was practically unheard of (even Lee Sin couldn't pull that off).

The health regen nerf, though, was massive and definitely unexpected. It depends on how badly the empowered Q nerf will actually hit his damage in practice, but my initial prediction is that he will fall into obscurity for a while and may only be brought out in niche counterpick situations (like Talon).
