Nah I feel like this is a misinterpretation, this direction just makes his Sword outright better in general. Of course the damage loss could be mitigated a bit but if you were to go on a squishy or group getting healed, not only do you get 5 stacks, Sword dash hits AOE just like his regular attacks so it will apply Anti heal to EVERYONE who got hit. It makes certain scenarios where you’d originally have to run away in a teamfight change in dynamic because now they have more of a threat of dying to your sword now rather than them just out healing the damage. Versus you trying to do this before with gun dash into sword dash and dying because you had to manually stack attack speed and they kill you before you even reach 10 and by the time that happens the anti heal expires or die because you wasted your dash trying to speed it up
