Notice your phrasing for a moment and realise that you're pointing out the same that most players have told: He's a huge bully during laning-phase, and he's as relevant in teamfights as the user's ability of landing Q's sweet spots.

Otherwise, he has little to no impact to the game, specially teamfights, and does well in skirmishes and duels as long as he deals with 1 target at a time and he can land Q's sweet spots, otherwise if it has to deal with organized teams, more than 1 target at the same time or the target can dodge his Qs, then dealing with him comes as an annoyance. If he leaves the laning-phase without a gold advantage decent enough to get his core items, the most relevance he'll have is becoming a CC-bot.

Considering his concentric kit around Q, isn't surprising all his damage budget is within a single ability, and that indeed is unhealthy (in fact, is as "stat-checky" as the old Aatrox), because either lands the sweet spots and explotes somebody without retaliation or the target lives with little trouble and kills him while Q is on cooldown.
