They said right away after those 5 patches of nerfs that he just needed to be redone totally... they weren't about to try to let him 'catch up' with other champs until his rework was done.

His basic problem according to Riot is that with his mechanics as they are right now, any bit of power they gave him to try to balance him and put his power closer to other champs, he will multiply in lane to turn himself into some kind of super-godzilla monster there.
