Shall Monk have his 1st hit as a combo hit?

Ever since the monk became 5 elixir, he is one of the underwhelming champions in the game.

With the current proposed buff, he pushes building targeting troops away from the crown tower and not to his side, making this ability shine and not too clunky to use.

If that is too op, maybe reduce the combo damage from x3 to x2.5 or ×2 so that he doesnt become broken again.
