I'd say its the second part of his passive he got where crystal charge activates whenever he stuns or supresses an enemy, that's giving lots of excess power (Like, why bother giving him zones if he gets the passive basically infinitely in teamfights anyway). Also his stun is much easier to get off, since it only requires one auto attack, meaning his ganks are actually pretty scary, especially since you can max E now rather than Q, making the thing a really strong slow and nuke.

He basically just gets a shit ton of free stats and utility right now, to a point it's near impossible to beat him in fights, even while he builds tanky.
