Well, it's still totally your choice, and just opinions since riot decides in the end, but consider the synergy with the other abilities:

He's a poke champion with currently no real escape or chase mechanism, with not-quite-as-unique abilities, who is constantly taunting enemies. If an enemy tower-dives him and he casts this ultimate, there's basically no way the enemy can escape without taking 1000 damage, so they have to charge right in and fight to the death, where he can probably destroy them; very taunt-like and extremely damaging if the enemy ignores it. Also, it could be given a very long range and be useful even for picking off enemies in teamfights. And as to not being so connected to his lore, the chains he has broken are that of Sla'arth's.

This arguement is pretty much useless, but that doesn't make it less fun!
