well i dont think thats a realy good idea because his mana cost are realy high. when jungling at early lv this isnt an issue because you have blue buff, but in lane you wont have enough mana to trade well. (imo)

his sapplings are (again imo ) not a good poke, because they can easly be dodge by hiding behind the minions and you push the lane or steal farm from your carry with it.

his cc isnt that good when compared to other offensive support like blitz, leona , ali. Ok he has a good slow and snare but not a real disable (stun silence etc).

but his initiat is realy good and also his dmg is higher then other supports, but after all the mana cost stays his biggest issue when laning.
