His burst is crazy, I know. I'm just saying that a pretty significant power spike is as his level 2 and  combo. It's combos like these that determine whether or not a champion is strong early game, and since has one, he's a strong early game champion. Other examples are with her QW combo,  with her RQ combo, and  with his QWE combo.

Does this "early-game" tag mean can't scale later on in the game? No, it just means that is strong early game. He can transition into the mid-game teamfights very well with his auras, slows, and synergies. I'm just saying that come late-game, his CC isn't as powerful as say, nor his dps as strong as say,. When health, armor, and magic resistance is up at their highest point through levels, burst becomes less significant than DPS as you can't simply just burst people any more in the late-game when everyone has their full builds and are level 18. Sure the aura remains, but inevitably, loses the fear of his burst that makes him significant. This is why I'm saying is an early game champ, because the time when burst is most significant, is early-mid game.

You say that if he gets his cdr and armor, that suddenly becomes stronger. Well if gets that cdr and armor through runes, then he is strong right at the get go--right at early game. Then can carry this power long into the mid-game until the enemies finally become too tanky, but due to  having such powerful teamfighting capability, pretty much every tower should fall if the team was an early-game based comp. Also, unless the ADC is ridiculously passive--in which a error was made--and doesn't ever bully the enemies, then the poking shouldn't be a problem because if they are poking, they aren't poking the ADC (don't forget that  has a heal and  on top of it all). So I stand by the fact that has a strong early game, but I will add that he can scale quite well into the mid-game.
