His power always was in the laning phase. Since movements are somewhat predictable in lane his Q was easy to land and his passive provided him with a reasonable amount of sustain. The short cd movement of his E made him an excellent sidelane ganker.

But also his Q is easy to dodgy lategame and he relied heavily on dfg to scale into lategame, which is why he was hardly ever picked in tournament games, it was just too risky and too reliant on a successful laning phase. On top of that he heavily relies on his ultimate to get kills. Now his ultimates cooldown got increased and dfg got nerfed to hell there is no point in picking him anymore.
