Not quite as extreme as OG ledge dash yeah.
I think you would be surprised how much a 5-10% projectile increase could benefit him at higher ranks. It would barely be noticeable at low ranks, but it would make him mildly more consistent with poke damage in an experts hands, and confirming kills with skilled shots from range.
Blade has always seemed problematic, with some slices vanishing, and some hitting when they shouldn’t. I would think tighter hit boxes would limit this. Single target may be an issue, but maybe then increased ult charge time could be introduced instead.
