he would work in jungle if he can survive the first clears, but his ganks wouldnt be good at all.

toplane he would get crushed and gutted because he brings nothing to the table a toplaner wants.

he has a high itemdependancy. he needs items to stick / to stay in a fight to use E over a prolonged time to win a fight.

but the early levels in toplane are without those much needed items, which means he gets snowballed upon very heavily. toplane in that sense is dangerous as an enemy with an early lead can show you how your spawn looks like everytime you come close to lasthit. and most toplaners even towerdive.

toplane would be : eat harrass, cant sustain, get killed because you need items.

all skills are fine in teamfights or will 3 items, but without items the kit is too weak. for any role.
