You meant, otherwise if did too much dmg, the only way how to solve it, would be to heal enemies..

Easy, yes, strong yes. But more often than being called OP, I heard him being called "useless". I don't entirely identify with that, but there's a lot of truth in it. He's really like a simple toy soldier for children. Easy to play, little to offer from the perspective of gameplay. Raw power with little space for skill. His pre-rework version at least had a CC reduction on, that required small level of skill to be used well..

His potential is mostly as a base constant, it scales very poorly with player skills. In lower ranks you can get stomped by this champ, but the higher, the more "useless" he becomes.
