Oh yes i did. Frozen heart, banshee's veil, force of nature, and/or sunfire cape + his ultimate make him very resistant. Frozen heart also decreases enemy dps.

This guy is everything a tank(by mechanic) should be: great disruption abilities: AoE knockback+line slow(a good slow), a root, and mines that damage. Also, his initiation is great. teleport in, root a target, knock back the others, and as fast as possible start your ultimate and throw some saplings. Admittedly, he lacks defensive abilities, but his passive gives survivability that scales with his max hit points. And he has an ultimate that protects everybody. So yes, he's a tank
