Idk but I personally consider "artillery mage" to be just a longer Rito's synonym for older "poke mage" used by players.

could definitely be classified as both poke and burst mage.

Yes, technically artillery mage could be directly combined with burst mage status, but that'd lead to anti-pattern: Providing kill dmg potential without undergoing risk of contact with enemy.

All, and  have to get into poke range to wear down the opponent, although they are able to execute from real artillery range with their ults. But having a true burst-artillery champ with four abilities ranging as their ults'd be imba as hell :p

Beside the disagreement on "artillery" and "poke" terms, agreed on rest. 's burst is properly balanced with his squishiness so if a bulk gets to him, he's in big trouble.
