He really didn't get much of a buff. People are just now realizing how strong he is besides from being a game-winning lane pusher.

He's got decent burst damage (mediocre AP ratios made up by hitting multiple targets) and he can DPS in a team fight from a safe distance with his turrets, while supporting with armor/magic pen, an aoe stun/blind, and a slow. Pre-buff he had one of the highest win-loss ratios according to lolbase.net.

Of course, he is squishy and some champions are especially effective at taking out his turrets, such as Sivir. Against Sivir, your turrets may actually conduct her ricochets to your teammates.
