QoL buffs for LB

First, gotta say i LOVE Leblanc. But she feels very binary. Sure she can get fed, but when she's falling behind she has a really hard time doing... anything.

I think that her main issue is that her waveclear is tied to her mobility spell. While i think it is a nice tradeoff, she can be punished so hard for it. When laning, you are faced with two choices:

A) Harass your opponent, but you are left with no waveclear, and the enemy will shove the wave into your turret, denying you some precious CS.

B) Use W for waveclear, but then you are left vulnerable, and you can't fight back against whoever you are laning against.

While i know that LB is a strong niche pick to counter champions with low mobility, she struggles pretty hard against almost everything else.

I thought about two ways that would help at the very least pull her weight when getting countered or playing behind:

A) Easiest method, buff W damage on minions. You would think that leveling W for it's shorter cooldown first would be the most valuable when you wish to clear minions, but you'd be wrong. Maxing W first means dealing less damage with a W + Q + Passive combo than by maxing Q first, since maxing W offers very little bonus damage compared to Q. It would be fair if both options were at the very least equal when it came to killing minions.

B) Killing units with a spell reduces cooldown on W by 1 second. (But it can't reduce the cooldown shorter than 4 seconds, which is the duration of her recall ability) This way if she uses W to clear minions, her vulnerability window would be shorter.
