He might not really be OP but he's obnoxious as hell. Free crit means stupid amounts of damage (and gives him a ridiculous powerspike) and combined with the free penetration it basicly completly invalidate defenses against him (though that seems to become more and more a staple of moba's due to the obsession with "plays). Mobility is just annoying regardless of who you put it in on a a game like this, it's just too easy to dodge stuff with bursts of mobility, or to catch up with someone despite being outplayed in some way. That shield makes him deceptivly sturdy despite going nearly completly glass canon (though the removal of the recharche by dashing is a massive improvement). His CC is hilarious, in a prolonged fight he is probably one of the best at it due to the ridiculously low CD, and before anyone starts about "how easy it is to dodge" 1) most of those are shot from pointblank, especially in a prolonged fight, good luck dodging those. And 2) it's really not an especially hard to hit spell, and even the hardest to hit skillshots in LoL still have a reasonable hit-rating not like it has 1% accuracy or something equally pointless. And wind wall is just well stupid, spellshields in general are very close to toxic. But this one is one of the worst. It lasts long, there's no way to break it (at least morgana's can be broken with enough damage... and that one's already toxic as hell), it requires no aiming due to it's massive size, it requires no timing since it lasts longer than most fights in this game, it protects an entire team.

All in all it just makes him increadibly frustrating to play against as it never feels like he wins because he's the better player, it feels like he wins because his character has ridiculous numbers a ridiculous kit and invalidates a great deal of what his opponent can do.
