I like the new design direction but the numbers need tweaking.

2.5 seconds to use empowered Q with a laughable "speed boost" (quotes intentional) must be a joke.

Good enemies will always move away and 2.5 seconds is literally nothing. Jhin gets 10 seconds for his 4th shot and he gets it every, what, 4 seconds in lane? Vlad gets empowered Q every 5+ seconds with 45% CDR, he DOES NOT CONTROL when he gets it since it's automatically up once the cooldown is finished, and in the off-chance you land it on someone, at the end of the day it's still a 300+0.9AP ability. Old Q did more effective DPS -- either basic Q should do more damage and healing, or empowered Q should do more than 200%.

Also, I wish his ulti did more damage too. It feels so stupid when I land a 4 man ulti and I would have done more than 30% more damage if I had landed one more E instead. Yes the healing is great, but it's once-per-fight and it's not guaranteed sustain so you can't rely on your ult as part of your sustain cycle in team fights.

I wish Q and R did more damage, really.
