Never max Q anymore. The bonus damage on the Transfer Discharge scales with level and the active component itself (the projectile that grants the shield) has poor base damage and scaling and thus there is no upside maxing it first. Death Ray deals far more damage and its high range lets you zone out near to any champion.

As for the rest, he does very well against most assassins and traditional mid laners. His powerful burst, area control, and utility make him viable in near every meta. What he lacks in mobility he makes up for in damage and utility
