You could probably get your base damage to 75-80 with runes masteries and dorans blade/long sword? activate your q and you'll do around 110-120. if you can keep catching it, you'll get that bonus attack damage every second attack or so, assuming you autoattack while the ricochet is midair. at level one, champs have anywher between 400-800 health and probably enough armor to take your damage down a few points, so you're gonna be need to hit a few times to do decent damage, plus you'll have to take whatever their retaliation is. By level 2-3 you might be able to start juggling 2 axes and getting your q to proc every auto attack.

So he does do decent damage, but remember, you'll have to be catching your axes all the time, which is hard when you also have to keep track of ur health and enemy in an exchange. plus, (as i just found out in PBE) any 1 second stun or snare will make you miss a catch, unless it lands on top of you.

Predicting your axe's ricochet path is possible, but your probably going to be better off just waiting to see where its going to land than trying to focus on which side of your enemy you're hitting( which i think is what determines it's ricochet direction)

tl;dr: his q does decent damage, but its hard to catch and trying to catch it can make you vulnerable.
