What is the purpose of the Sion changes on PBE?

Obviously this is an attempt to nerf Sion in a way that doesn't effect his q max playstyle much, but this is almost strictly a nerf to Sion in all his builds. The bonus 10 damage on q doesn't even come close to making up for a loss of 25% ad ratio, which is lower overall now even at max rank.

If this is an attempt at a straight nerf, it's very strange, and if it's supposed to not effect q max Sion, it doesn't seem to do its job very well.

I don't see the point in these changes.

It is supposed to be a strict nerf.

However, the base damage is increased to not make rank 1 Q too weak entirely. With the old base damage and the new ratio, level 1 Q would deal 54-162 damage, which is dysfunctionally low. With 10 more base damage, it is 64-192 damage, which is no longer criminally low.
