Yeah it's from a whole bunch of nerfs they gave him at the start of S1 because they said his laning was broken... they halfed his total damage when it wasn't that high at all to begin with, among a host of other nerfs including a big range nerf on every ability... the number of turrets actually has very little to do with it.

Riot said he was broken back then and that his whole kit is in need of a rework... they just haven't gotten around to doing it yet.
