^ Because Essence Flux doesn't go through champions and you can't use Arcane Shift to quickly reposition yourself to avoid that tank completely.

AP Ez is one of the strongest burst mages having higher base damage and only .29 smaller AP ratios than Ahri on to of being able to get that damage out faster than Ahri can. He also has a blink on a normal ability with a potentially extremely short cooldown thanks to the passive on Q (somewhere around 4 seconds at Max cdr.)

His problems are:


 * He can't push a lane for crap due to his only AoE ability which hits minions being his ultimate.


 * Mystic Shot (and Lichbane) deal physical damage.


 * Arcane Shift does not prioritize champions.


 * Really obscure and not all that important form of CC on a mage, someone who usually brings a strong form of CC to a team. (Annie stun, Swain snare, Ahri charm)
