With the chalice rework this preseason, any chance of spammy mage nerf reverts? (Ziggs specifically)

Not entirely sure where to ask this, first time posting on the new boards. xD

So since Ziggs was picked up in pro play he got a whole string of nerfs to address his enormous waveclear and infinite spam with chalice, though most of them didn't touch that issue directly and were more about safety (Q detection radius nerf, Attack range nerf, MS nerf, mana cost increases, CD increases). I was curious if he'd get anything back if the chalice issue was resolved. Specifically, I'd like to see Q detection radius increased again, but that's just because it's near impossible to hit at the moment on anyone paying a remote amount of attention. I even miss moving minions, though that's mostly fail muscle memory on my part.

But this is not a QQ thread!

There have been other mages who have had mana cost increases or other nerfs due to their interactions with chalice. If they prove too weak in preseason, would the balance team lean more towards re-buffing the champs or buffing new mana regen?

Edit: Whoops, I mean detection radius, not detonation radius. It's fixed now. I'm talking about the 180 to 150 detection thing. For comparison, Karthus's lay waste is 200.

give him reduced ult cooldown and thats it.

his Q is so annoying and if u cant hit anyone with it then you are just bad this game.

You're not supposed to be able to siege for all eternity with only a Chalice.

Morello's is +100% base mana regen and more AP.
