You nerfed it's range, meaning it's not as good as poking people out of lane anymore (which was the broken thing about it) Now you can reduce it's cooldown. Since it'll be used more as a kiting tool (which i believe was the original intend of it) and as a finisher more effectively.
At the moment, there's no reason for it to have a such a long cooldown.

It's just to make the culling feel better. It's easier to escape from it now, harder to snipe targets with, at least it could be on a shorter cooldown so it doesn't feel like a total waste to shoot it.
Now it feels like "Damn i used my ult and didn't manage to finish off that low HP Janna, time to wait 130 sec just to have her run off with 15 HP again"
