Except he has terrible burst potential, and low damage. His burst is insuffecient to kill anything with even a spectres cowl, and it's so slow and avoidable that unless you catch someone out, there's almost no way you'll get it off in a teamfight(unless you do the tank build, which is annoyingly superior to the way he was meant to be played).

His passive is basically the highest damage in his kit aside from ult, and takes a while it get off normally, his utility is all meh aside from the stun, which is probably the weakest thing about him just from how slow it is, I can't tell you how many times I've casted the stun, jumped in, then get cc'd and killed just to watch the damn thing explode on top of my corpse and slow some people.

Unless your definition of balanced is a champion being near useless, he is anything but balanced. He just isn't overpowered. He's like Elise, not necessarily a bad champion, but he just can't carry with how weak he is, while also being so hard to play. It actually sucks to be honest, when you manage to hit the stun on the adc, but can't actually do anything other than take them to a third hp. That's assuming you don't get peeled off as well.
