I play him mid often. With his passive you can sustain really well as your lane opponents harrass just charges it so their poke doesnt do much. His AP ratios are also really good although you shouldnt go for a full AP build as it would leave you less usefull late game. Athenes, Sunfire, Abyssal, and Iceborn Gauntlet are all really good on him. You can also play top lane. Two things to note is you have to get good at hitting with your sapplings or you run the risk of being OOM quickly and at lvl 7 you can clear the caster minions with one sappling if you lvl it first.
