i agree both things are totally superfluous and should just be outright removed. the dragon ghost is quite ridiculous really not sure how that even made it into the game.
i'd trade both those things for a 1 second 40% movespeed slow on his E so he didn't feel forced into rylais or frozen mallet.
nothing changes this from being the worst rework, though. he used to have an even power distribution across his 4 abilities, now it seems all his power is in Q and he just has these extra things tacked on to make up for the fact his other 3 abilities don't really do much on their own anymore. a shambling wreck of a rework, if you had to quote me.
