According to him the Q changes are for differentiating the builds. So that the AP built has at least a weak Q, "it makes the biuld have a meaningfully weaker button". Together with the W change and the lowering of its chance to pop 5 extra plasma stacks, will further diminish the damage of the AP build.
From Phreak's point of view Kai'Sa doesn't need a massive change or nerf. "In truth Kai'Sa only needs about 1 - 1.5 % wr nerf". His statement ends with a few shots against the community and even pro-players. According to Phreak, players are bad at reading and understanding patch notes. Also, he announced that more nerfs for Kai'Sa might be coming in the future.
But players are really bad at reading patch notes and understanding them. Pros included. We will likely ship another nerf because perception is reality.
It will be interesting to see, how the community and everybody else is going to react to Phreak's statement and how the future Kai'Sa nerfs might look like. For now, we have to wait to see how the first wave of nerfs will impact Kai'Sa's play rate and win rate.
Maybe further nerfs are needed, the Worlds are coming and everybody just wants to have a nice meta, to enjoy different champions. Of course, we will keep you up-to-date on the situation and the coming patch notes.
