perosnally i think he was fine before the nerfs, a bit on the strong side but not much, the thing is riot wants him to be more of a niche pick, to be more of a close ranged dps mage, as opposed to the likes of lux orianna and xerath. Also he was too easy to pick, he laned well vs pretty much everyone and didnt have a hard counter, then transitioning into a lategame beast. Now he is harder to trade with, but can still snowball with ganks as he can run faster than singed.
