I think it's not that he is by any means op. it's the playstyle he enforces. Sit in lane, AA your enemy whenever he wants a lasthit (as long as it doesn't cost you a lasthit). Especially on top, the "loner lane" I like to call it, he can attack you 5 times early and from then on keep you at bay, until some time your jungler appears. Lanefights against him can be incredibly frustrating, and from 6 on it's just plainly irritating when he does his "AA, AA, AA, OMGHEMOVESTOWARDSME W RUN!"-"combo", especially if he starts to camp the brushes whenever you show the slightest aggression.

Also, the pushing. You feel punished for playing with your team when that guy just stays on lane all day and pushes, and when you return, you guessed it, W, run away, wait in the brush until you leave. rinse and repeat.

ofc, he is squishy, and especially instant-gapclose champs like Xin (Wukong works better due to not being forced to AA to deal damage from 6 on) and the likes tend to instantly kill him when they reach 6 and from then on. but you know that he will just come to the lane and push again. and again. and again. and you feel bored and irritated because you have to react to that by always returning to your lane even if you really are not comfortable with leaving your team, because otherwise he will be near your inhib pretty soon.

as a sidenote, i really like going ghost instead of flash against this thing when I do not have slows in my kit, as he will probably still outrun you with W active when you stun him, but he won't outrun slows/ghost.
