Also, the stacks on his ulti are both an advantage and a limiter. Spamming his Ulti every 6 secs (not taking CDR into account) would mean total map dominance. Even if you get CDR you have to wait 7 seconds for his stacks to go down, or your mana gets really really low; so its a matter of balance. At level 6 your ulti is not too useful for damage indeed, but it lets you adjust your positioning somewhere where your enemy doesn't expect, that usually letting you land your silence and walk (float) away without harm. The added damage with each stack helps more at mid and late game, for finishing off retreating enemies and winning close 1v1s, where a tad bit more of unexpected damage might win you the fight.
