If by godlike you mean he'll survive the team fight but won't actually kill anyone sure. He's picked if the team is really lacking CC (which is rare in High ELO games, hence why he isn't a common Ranked Draft Mode pick, but reasonably common in Solo Queue). If your team has CC, there are champions that do A LOT more damage. Annie/Anivia/Brand/Veigar all burst for more, Malzahar and Cass do better DoT damage. He has survivability yes, but for a lot of casters it isn't an issue given that caster gameplay is all about ducking in and out based on cooldowns.
