Aatrox Q - Should some of the Sweet Spot/Edge damage be shifted to the rest of the hitbox?

That way, I think he'd be a little less oppressive against immobile champions in lane, while at the same time he'd have a better chance to fend off enemies with the ability to get right in his face and stay on top of him.

It just feels like he's way too reliant on his Q sweet spots for damage right now due to how absurd the damage on that part of the ability is, while the rest of the ability's damage is laughable. I get that they're trying to encourage players to hit the edges of the ability and that's fine, but the damage gap really doesn't need to be as high as it is right now, not to mention he already gets a knockup for landing the edge of the ability.

And also... He's an immortal Darkin, for crying out loud! Why shouldn't a being that wields enough power to wipe out entire armies and slay gods be able to hold his own against some fool that even dares to think of getting anywhere near him?

Thoughts?
