Not really, requiring everything in your kit to work isn't the same as being balanced. For example, there should be (some) room for mistakes, screwing up a single thing should not immeadiatly mean a loss. Similarly, most of his skills can be used more effectivly than he "needs", e.g. trigger his shield twice in a fight and he chances from fairly squishy to having one of the highest effective health values in the game (ignoring items).

Simply "needing" your kit is in no way balanced, it's the absolute basis you start with when building a champion. After all, what kind of horror would you be making if he didn't need his kit. Do you just let the nexus explode the moment the guy's selected?
