While he definetely has the potential of having a high skill ceiling, his skill floor is actually a lot lower than it might seem at first glance. While he has a lot of abilities, all of them are very straight forward, and they dont have any special interactions with each other or heavy limitations like Aphelios has with his guns. He also doesnt have any difficult conditions like Azir with his soldier positioning or Samira with her Style meter. Id argue that hes one of the most straightforward champs in the last few years.

That's predicated on every ability having a unique usage. Most of his abilities have overlapping usage, and the ones that don't are either hard connected to obvious combos or completely standalone with no wrong usage at all. No amount of balance will change that.
