As written, it just feels like a really simple way for a character to null most anyone that has to be within touch range by blasting them into the horizon while also having a solid couple of options at range. Really it's the general idea that he can essentially completely shut down any attempt at melee by touch while having all the other uses to boot that I feel is the most troublesome, because everything else is fine and fun and can be played with and/or around, "touch to ringout", not so much. You can say what you want about common sense, length and flow but part of the reason CSes are there is to define what characters can and cannot do.
