If it did more damage it might be a bit more toxic to use as a global. It actually has the shortest cooldown at all ranks in opposition to the other global casts (Karthus, Soraka, Shen)

The spell only has damage potential when you are AP gangplank and even then it doesn't 100-0 anyone at any time so given that the spell is often used as an execute I woudl probably straight replace AP scaling alltogether and turn it into health percentage damage either taking maximum health or health that's missing damage.

The slow on the other hand has to be managed to where it doesn't completely pin you and you have a chance to escape because again it's completely global and is more frequent than other globals.
