Well, has a lot of DMG and sick gapclosin possibility. Aslo, if he goes ward>>W behind you>>R, you're dead.

I don't say it deals a lot of DMG. I say that combo puts you between enemy and his turret. And that is not favorable position to be in. And I've seen some full AD lee sins ult tank into my team. Trust me, it hurts

Oh, ok. But yeah, base DMG+mobility I guess. Also, % missing HP DMG

Strong base damages. Makes it hard for champions that need to scale up

Its the ability to gapclose and displace that makes him a resonable ganker, though as a naut main hes easy to counter when he ganks

Q + Q + E + two auto-attacks will be a lot of damage, and he can close an 1100 unit gap. Once he hits six, his ultimate is also a lot of damage, as well as capable of pushing his target back into the middle of the lane.

It is mainly the fact that he is extremely mobile and that he can dish out a ton of early game damage. He also has a shield that he can give to himself and a teammate. Hes just a very strong early game ganker.
