The role of Marksman in general is unbalanced towards finding strong Marksman and nerfing them while not really embracing their core mechanics. So far, Riot has been terrible while balancing them, having only a few to ever have an Identity into the game and generally allowing the role to be a PowerPick role rather than a flexible one, much like how MidLane is.

I don't think straight up buffing him would solve issues with his kit but I do think that he should be returned some power, at least in his Q and range to make up for the fact that he lost some of his Identity as a LaneBully Marksman. He is a good neutral pick in this tank meta due to how his kit works but he doesn't seem to have a fallout mechanic, like Kalista, Sivir, Ashe and even Vayne do and he doesn't seem to scale as hard into the late game as Jinx does so he tends to average out.
