I really like how they balanced his E. You can just tell it was originally meant to reset on kills\assists like tristana's and other reset champs but that would have opened the way for him to work like late AP Yi: during a teamfight find a squishy or a half-dead victim, pop him with your full burst + passive AND newly buffed trinity procs. Check one, E reset. Use E again to jump to the next target and get instant nuke from your passive - 300% base autoattack strength + bonus AD + proc of passive for roughly the same damage depending on the rest of his gear. Rinse and repeat. Well coordinated team will help him snowball the teamfight. Unlike Fiora, who can do that too, he is ranged, his gapcloser resets with kills, and he has nukes and crazy movespeed from W+Reworked phage passive.

Now if his reset procs only during his very short ult then that still makes his apparently underwhelming ult more ultimate and after the full duration he will have only one proc of passive and sheen. Plus the scaling of mana for the dash should help him avoid mana problems during late game. Not too powerfull but still a formidable kiter. Nice.
