Completely true. He does INSANE damage.

@ForceOfReckon You don't need a lot of CDR, since your objective is not to poke, but to burst. You need AS to build stacks, and AP for those stacks to do damage. Physical/Magic/Hybrid Penetration is also very good on him. So, a standard build would be Nashor's Tooth, Lich Bane, Rabadon's, Voidstaff, Zhonya's/Luden's (defensive/offensive), and boots (Sorcerer's are recommended for extra damage, Lucidity is a possibility for that 40%/45% CDR). This includes 30% CDR and more than enough AS, not to mention the Spellblade from Lichbane to boost your combos between AAs and spells. Runes would be HybridPen marks, Armour seals, MR glyphs (CDR/AP if you want to), and AP quints. Masteries would be 12/18/0, Precision and Thunderlord's are great for that extra damage and burst. Thunderlord's also helps his pretty poor early game.
