The only thing that stops him from being in lane is the fact that you can cast Q 4 times and then you are a sitting duck.

His mana pool is very shallow. without blue buff you will have mana problems in lane. so that pins him to mid lane.

He could win in some situations but I think he would be a lot more useful in the jungle. He is mele and has not gap closes on short cooldown like Talon or Pantheon. I might be wrong but again...
