His ban rate is 90% not because of his burst, which is truly only average in terms of damage, but because of his utility; he has a 2.5 second silence, a 50% aoe slow, and the longest range 'dash' of all champions, which deals very significant damage. Besides, his Q isn't a skill shot. In other words, he has nice dmg, nice utility and is extremely reliable. He is essentially impossible to kill 1 vs 1 and brings a lot to the table in team fights (whether it is 2 vs 2 or 5 vs 5). He is however, easily harassed 1 vs 1 in my opinion.
