His kit also has so little synergy beside Q and E, and Ult that is just theme-fulfilling and with this new serpernt coin they force him into the boring farm to be strong pattern of Nasus and Veigar, which i wholeheartly disappointed about.

And your idea of scaling is great, considering his Ult is not even that strong to begin with, but IMO it should be decreased to 300-400 coind, as even in a bot match ( yes i play bot match for testing laugh at me) i can't even get 2 upgrade at 30 mins with a normal build, and it would be much harder in real player match.
