not to mention the passive on his e

it was stated by certainly that is his poassive did physical damage it would have to be doubled just to make hard countering him with armor less likely, this would also give him a great early game, and post 6 is one of his strong suits now

in that post (posted dec 31 2012) it's stated that crippling strike will change from an atk speed slow, but he will get something in exchange. and his passive will change from magic, most likely with more damage in its new form - if it changes to physical he'll deal more damage with it.... with his e and now the black cleaver

as certainly said "be careful what you wish for, you might not like it."

he's also pretty balanced usually hanging around a 49.4% win rate
