Well yes, he initiates good and is capable of staying alive with constant attacks.

What the problem is, however, that he can't disengage. He has no "go away, I don't want to fight you anymore" move that most LoL chars have. If you're lucky you can pull off an Akali and W to a creep that was spacing out for some reason, but thats not very likely.

I've had a situation where im jumped by a jungling Xin, I root him with W. Then do Q to knock-back. But he just walks back and continues hitting me.

Its even worse if its a ranged champion with CC since I have to weigh the options of continuing running or gamble a W -> Q combo which places me dangerously close.
