Yeah, I agree that dealing 260% AD + 260% AP bonus damage in 3 hits (without counting the damage of the 3 autos, which is another 300% AD) sucks and is weak.

Anyway. I don't see why one should pick him bot in any case, he can go top with Teleport and Ghost like Nasus and it'll be fine. Shield scaling on max HP and E too filling the shield not based on damage means you can keep your shield without maxing Siphon - i.e. you won't be forced to shove the lane asking for ganks. W deals damage without conditions with the second cast, so it's a good sustain tool. You can just max Q against melee champions. R's DoT stays as %HP based and is even less than before, and that sucks.

The build, well, that's tricky. Gunblade > Mercs > Sterak (new highest base AD at 18 anyone?) > Rylai > Randuin > Abyssal sounds solid. Having around 220 AD and 220 AP means you're gonna deal 660 + 572 + 572 = 1804 damage in 3 autoattacks. Even to the frontline that's a lot of damage for the time it takes - and it's once every 4 seconds.
