I doubt it. At the moment the issue with her kit is that either she lands her Q or she doesn't achieve anything. None of your changes address the "issue" with her play-pattern (although I actually like her play pattern because it feels high-impact). Making her Q cheaper, less damage and easier to land will not improve her - her play pattern will still be the same, just with less of an impact.

They could change her Tormented Soil to do more up-front damage - but I'm not sure how this could be achieved without ripping off Lucent Singularity. Maybe reduce the duration of the effect but hardly touch the damage. Maybe make the area of effect grow over the duration, like Miasma, or creep toward nearby enemies (for some reason, "Tormented Soil" just sounds like it should be able to grow to cover more terrain).
