Um, no, his early game isn't that bad. With an MP5 steroid, he has decent staying power as long as he's healthy, and he out ranges at least Akali, Annie, Sion and Vladimir. And once he hits level 6, he out-bursts all of them too, regardless of who's got more farm. He's got quite a few counter-picks(Ryze comes to mind), but against some fairly normal lanes, he's not only scary for his late game, but for his early game too.

Compared to Nasus, who's got very few winnable lanes, no hard CC, low early game damage, and is almost exclusively melee range for his damage.

Or Singed, who's got absolutely no way to hurt foes farther away than melee range unless they chase him.
