Because unlike the before mentioned champions he can't just jump on you to do damage. Yes, he's tanky and has good ratios on two skills, but is very pron to being kited by his would be targets. His Q helps somewhat with gap closing, but still a slow or a stun will stop him cold.

And as NFizz mentioned, armor and a poke once in a while to stop his passive will help a ton in the lane.
