2 reasons, overpowered, and underpowered, lol... basically, his numbers are very low, and have to be kept there right now, because his mechanics, mainly in lane, are brokenly strong. So, the rework is to unbreak him, and to restore the raw power they had to take away because he was so broken (70% win rates and nigh-on 100% pick/ban in s1).

Expect his laning to be less safe and reliable, it will likely be easier to trade damage with him... however, he will also likely be doing a lot more damage when he does hit you, possibly enough to just burst you down all at once.

His late game will be getting a lot of improvements, with all his abilities hitting more reliably, and his total damage ratios going way up.
