He isn't that nimble, true. But his Passive gives him free attack speed an his kit is crafted in such a way that he doesn't just melt 1 champion easily, he does it with 3 at the same time. He's about the only ADC out there with Hard AoE CC, alongside Soft cc, Healing reduction, a massive poke and relatively safe play.

Sure he's not that nimble. But when the name of the game is team fights, his damage and CC will definitely make up for that. He just needs a bit of hard protection.
