@Riot can we get a buff to JG Karthus?

Lately, I've been really trying to get JG Karthus to work, (with a bit of inspiration from NightBlue3) but I've noticed that when Karthus is in the jungle, his damage isn't as consistent as when he's laning. Which got me thinking that maybe if his jungle playstyle got a bit of power. It might compensate for his lack of damage.

I think that the one thing that should happen is to have his E deal %50 more damage to monsters (which excludes lane minions).

Now this may sound a bit odd as a way to increase his JG power, but Karthus is considered a Hypercarry in that his damage is improved mostly by his item kit. This basically means that the more effective his clears are, the faster they are, and the faster they are, that means that either he can gank faster, or go clear more camps. Either way, Karthus gets a little more gold in his pocket to spend on essential items to get to his mid-late powerspike.

Adding 50% to his e would effectively make him one of the fastest clears in the game actually, when you think about just how much aoe he does with blue.

at level 9 his E would be doing 165+ damage a second to camps, which doesn't sound like a lot until you consider just how much that really is he could very easily hit 300 damage a second to camps, which would probably put yi shyvana and udyr to shame, perhaps .

makes me wonder about that thing I was told about karthus being able to hit 6 while everyone was 4 in season zero or one.
