He's not strong in that he gets lots of AoE from afar or assassinates carries in 2 seconds, like you see most mids doing. He's strong in the bruiser class. He may have a short range, but his late game build allows him to stand right next to people because of the tankiness he can build, but also put out a considerable amount of damage because his tanky items  boost his damage.
