You certainly win when it comes to non sequiturs. All those attributes you listed are things that are good for early game domination, not late game.

High AD ratios means your damage shoots up extremely fast at first, emphasized by the good kit he has - you have great matchups against all but the most stalwart opponents in lane for that reason, your global ult gives you great power in snowballing everybody else too by taking your powerful earlygame kit into other lanes to slaughter the bad guys there.

Later on, though, the simple fact that AD cannot get to the same high numbers as AP because of a lack of an AD-variant of means you will fall off in damage - the few casters who don't fall off are ones with multiplicative scaling already built-in -, ,  (critical strikes!), etc. This too is emphasized by your kit - you're pretty much relegated to singletarget damage and your utility is poor. He just doesn't have much presence lategame. That's why he falls off.
