Yeah, The rockets actually haven't changed too much, except in pre-s1, he had rockets that prioritized champs and could hit multiple on one champ for full damage... they quickly changed them to work like they do now because prioritizing champs made them overpowered in lane... effectively automatic damage, which thanks to the very long range and his having turrets always around zoning you far away from him, was practically impossible to ever answer back.

When they nerfed all his abilities back in S1 for being 'toxic' in lane, his rockets already worked the same as now, they only reduced the rockets by 200 range (from 1200 max to 1000), they are really his least nerfed ability, and are still a decent poke move. Compared to what they did to his grenade (much shorter range, smaller stun radius, much worse AP scaling) and turret (much lower ap scaling per turret, much lower range, lower health, and one less turret also)... rockets really got off unscathed...
