The reduction to his early game isn't as severe as you say. The change from bonus AD to total AD is a substantial buff to his per-level scaling across all his skill.

Factoring his base AD and assuming you're maxing Q first, his Q deals 45 / 74 / 105 / 138 / 171. This is nerf of 5 / 6 / 5 / 2 / -1 damage.
