Yeah, his passive made him really strong. W does magic damage and it's more there for the utility (movement speed), E is just a dash and R is just for finishing targets/when they're chasing/to clear waves. Damage in his kit comes from passive and Q, so you really want to proc it every spell, you should start your combo with E because then after your full combo (which should go something like E -> passive -> Q -> passive -> W -> passive) your E will be on significantly low cooldown.

Despite the fact that he's been nerfed recently he's still a solid pick, just not top tier (which is Graves & Corki in my opinion)
