His Q doesnt need to be in melee range. It is a poke move with gate. It doesn't really balance out numerically but I can see where they were going in making it less of a "spam every time it is up move". It stil does tons of damage. And just because a move is a skill shot does not give it free reign to do more damage than any other move of similar quality.

With the scaling on it, I'd say it needs 230 base damage and 320 amplified. This is on par with all the other nukes and can be argued that it is better than them simply because a 1.2 AD ratio that scales with the amp is nothing to scoff at.

As for accel gate, doesn't matter that you need to be in melee range for the movespeed. It is still a shurelia's for a very very cheap mana cost.
