Can we remove the unneeded damage from W and E powerchords and hike up their pathetic bases?

It seems like a decent powershift for Sona, I can't help but think that powerchord it'self does not need a base damage for her 3 options

Obviously keep Q chord the same as the damage poke ability, but maybe make W a 30% base reduction in damage and her E a 50 or 60% slow off the bat but have no damage to it

Just curious on peoples opinion to a change like this

Edit- again as typical for making a Sona change thread, random downvotes with no feedback :^)

I can definitely see the reasoning behind this, but I think losing the damage would be a surprisingly damaging trade-off at times. When working with an early gank you would like to keep the Power Chord burst on Tempo to ensure a death. When someone is overly aggressive in a situation you can potentially punish them in (i.e. if they are diving you), the damage on Diminuendo can help to turn that into a kill for your team.

Don't get me wrong, I think there will definitely be times when a stronger slow/damage reduce would be better than having the damage, but I'd not be entirely comfortable with losing it.
