Yes, very fun to play. However, even though it's obvious he was designed this way, his early game is frustratingly bad.

Much too squishy. A real challenge to play top, since most typical opponents will have hp regen to counter the poking and a gap closer to counter your shadow.

Kinda meh in jungle because his early game ganks seem weak.

Also, champs with similar abilities (e.g. Ezreal and LB, who both have a blink and high burst dmg potential) are less squishy, have ranged basic attacs and have a better early game.

So, over all, I think he deserves a buff. Not a huge one, but a buff would make him a much more viable choice in many cases.
