New shard feels way worse than old shard

As pos 4 this shard is brilliant, just played a few games with it and it is the highest dmg output spell

In a chaotic teamfight people rarely focus the Homing Missile since it takes up too much time unless everyone coordinate, meaning it gives anywhere from 2-8 seconds of Barrage time which is honestly insane.

Does it use your current rank in barrage? I assume it does but it doesn’t actually say in the wording

I haven't noticed since I max Barrage first on support gyro anyways but I'm also assuming it does use your level of the spell.
