Could LeBlanc's rework bring back her old passive and ultimate?

In my opinion these are pretty iconic for her as a champion. New passive is just dumb and broken. It lets her split her burst into 3 people (2 chains, each for 1 target and W + Q for 3rd target) and all of them take insane amount of damage from passive proc. She should be primary an assassin so she should focus on single target damage. Her old ultimate was much more balanced than the current one and made LB player have to actually think about spell order (same with old Q being the only ability applying the mark). Also having to double click R is just annoying and makes LB feel clunky and slow af. Any thoughts?

I don't like that her burst is artificially gated unlike any assassin In the game, even Zed. She has to wait for her passive to proc to do anything, and without it, her spells do very little individually. Even zed, who is known for his 3 second pop window burst can still deal massive best damage instantly even without the mark popping. But LB is just jump in, tag, and wait. Albeit not long, but her weaving in and out on old lb was something I found to be unique to her that other assassins couldn't do besides, again, zed if he expertly used both of his shadows. I hope they give her options to actually burst instead of needing to rely on some odd build that involves lichbane or gunblade for artificial AP damage because her's simply isn't enough/reliable.

I would revert her R as well it added counter play and thinking before hand. Her passive now is very stupid cuz it gives a fixed window of dmg that u must wait. Her old passive was cool but unnecessary, I think her new passive should be closer as an assassin deciver but the clones shouldn't be a get out of jail free card but as a part of her kit.
