He has super obvious and exploitable weaknesses, but didn't have damage comparable to many mages that lacked those weaknesses. Riot wants him to be one of the ultimate "If you let him do his thing he melts you" champions, but he really needed his damage way up for him to be worth picking for that over someone like lux or xerath, who have better range and burst harder.
