Why Is Blaziken Uber?

Why is Blaziken classified as Uber? it is not a legendary and its stats are no better than Chandelure, Infernape, Dragonite, Sylveon, or the plethora of legendaries you guys classify as OU instead of Uber.
I could understand if the item Blazikenite was classified as Uber but not Blaziken itself. It makes no sense what so ever to classify Blaziken as an uber.

Access to Swords Dances + strong moves such as Flare Blitz, Brave Bird, High Jump Kick and etc...
Also, this isn't the place to be posting this. Just saying!
 
If you'd gone against a Blaziken near the beginning of gen 5 in OU, you'd know that it's not easy to deal with. Speed boost and swords dance give it two ways to set up at once which it can either use to sweep with or baton pass if needed. It's not exactly a bad pokemon in ubers either if you can set up.
 
It can also be used as a Baton passer, with moves (like Darnell said) such as SD, as well as sub.

And speed boost is just icing on the cake.
