PBE Changes for Gangplank Increase mana on Q with no mana return on unit kill?

On the PBE, GP's Q- Parrrley's cost was increased from 40 at all ranks to 60/55/50/45/40.

In the past, he used to have a mana return on unit kill because the spell had a higher mana cost, but now that the mana cost is larger, they didn't give him the mana return again? If you don't have the mana return, even killing MINION'S isn't worth it at all in early levels. With GP's base mana pool, 4 casts of his Q at lvl one makes him OOM. That's insane. This also isn't counting the other indirect nerfs he has received, such as losing the 20% potion and elixir duration without taking that new rune. Even if you are passive farming and NOT attacking the enemy, you're either stuck under tower getting harassed with no mana, OR you're stuck under tower, waiting for your laning opponent to stop freezing the lane.

I implore to give the mana return back on his Q, if this change goes through. What do you guys think of all this? I feel like this is more of a hard nerf rather than a light mana nerf.

Back in my day, when poppy cast her Q twice she went oom. More champion needs increase cd and mana cost to compensate for all the creep we've been getting.

Another thing, GP's poke is getting very hardly nerfed because he can do it so often, and with little repercussions, however, Gnar does the same thing and just got BUFFED.

I dont get how they think GP is suppossed to farm now.. Like in many matchups all you can do is Q farm and now you cant even do that? I guess we will be buying tear on gp just to be able to farm lol

This is fully designed as a nerf, why would they compensate a nerf, it would defeat the purpose.
