Vlad - movement speed buff on emp. Q

So.. I played just couple of games with new Vlad.. overall I quite like the changes, but I still have my doubts whenever he is strong or weak... BUT, there is one thing I really hate and that is his movement speed buff on empowered Q.

Riot always says they wana make passives or abilities with real impact, player should really feel it - but with this buff, you just don't. Only way to notice it is acualy to read the tooltip or watch your movement speed stat at the right moment - it is just SOOO short. You won't notice it in the game - I think its max 0.5 sec and to make it even worse, you dont get 100% of that movement speed for 0.5 sec, but it decreases over time.. so you really get that max speed for like 0.2 sec max... that just riddiculous.

I bet that if you would let 100 people try new Vlad, and then asks them if they noticed that there was a movement speed on empowered Q, 90 out of 100 would tell that they didn't.

I do, but it's probably because I play vlad with % move speed quints. Also, I noticed that you have to start going in BEFORE he enters blood rush. If you walk up and start charging E, by the time you smash them with the burst you will be able to Q them. If you wait for the rush, they will see it and back off. If you go in early, they may react late and by then you are faster than them with bloodrush. If you run at them from behind your minion wave after it activates, then no it won't make a difference.

I do, but it's so short that I just ignore it.

You don't notice Vladimir's passive either, or the damage amplification on his ultimate. It doesn't mean that they aren't there, just don't apply a noticeable impact. I don't want to lose either of those passives, but I don't want to see them buffed either.
