The best uses I got out of him was not as a pure initiator, but rather a counter initiator/second initiator. If you rush in and ult in their shquishees unless you have uber mobility on your team, you will be the only one there for a good second and a half. Thus wasting your ult potential imo. However if you team has a Alistar let's say, Ali goes in and does his thing you can keep your ult to either ram the assassins/bruisers that go for your backline or ult/e in their squishees. That works wonders imo. Been called a troll too but I like to go for a bit of AS/Crit on him to get some use of his W steroid. Something like Zerkers, Cloak+Dagger, Atma and pure tank items. Makes that counter initiate even more scary (and those items are pretty cheep).
