Taliyah changes?

I totally get that shes strong in pro play, but why didn't they just reverse her launch bonus of increased damage to minions? Having q aoe made it a great tool for hitting things hiding right next to other targets...and without the aoe its going to give me nid spear ptsd. ugh, im shivering at the thought of trying to hit someone who just walked behind 2 caster minions already...where it wouldnt have saved them before.

Im worried this will turn it into a garbage skill shot and really curious why they didn't just give it "reduced damage to minions" Anyone have any thoughts?
