He was hit very hard by nerfs. As OP said, Q range used to be greater, his wall of pain reduced 40 armor and magic resist flat. Not percentage but flat. That is like having free void staff when enemy has 100 magic resist. Now his E got nerfed and a while back his cooldown on ultimate was increased as Morello hates global ultimates. In the same patch they even considered making Shen's ultimate non-global.

What we have now is a champion that can hit very hard but requires a very high skill cap since every mid now is a champion that has imbalanced dashing skills. Fizz, DIana, Elise, Katarina, Akali... You name it.

In order to make him on par with these ridicilous dashes they should give him some serius damage buffs, so when those champions try to attack, he can retaliate with deadly force making them think twice before attacking him.

But that would put too much imballance when Karthus faces a champion that is the same as him, Lux, Morgana, Orianna, Cassiopeia who don't have stupid dashes.
