His passive allows him to farm/push lane early, and a lichbaned Q on a ~1.5s recast allows him to farm/push late.

Mystic Shot doing physical damage does limit his lategame damage output with the ability, but it still hits amazingly hard against squishies, and is alot easier to land on a squishy that most people give credit for.

Arcane shift prioritizing champions isn't a huge deal, because in lane, its fairly easy to land anyways, and in teamfights, you won't have to worry about minions a whole lot.

His lack of hard CC is his only major downfall in the current meta, and it really hurts when people expect that from similarly played AP carries.
