I don't think he'd fare well anywhere except support as ap. You'd still need some ad runes to cover that dmg output pre-lichbane. It's fun to troll with AP oranges but it's is not viable when his only attacking abiltity is a DoT ult and a item dependent Q(twice so when his Q doesn't have ap ratio).

You would really need to pull a great ult and somehow everyone needs to stay and fight a while in it.

I think a Rylai(to harden the cc) and Liandry would serve his ult better, and if the grogsoaked blade procs Liandry's that's even better(it should proc Liandry, but all I know is that it doesn't proc tribute from spellthief/frostfang, so who knows how his DoT is coded).

I mean, I've won team clashes with him, but they were circumstantial(bottlenecks, team comps etc etc) Once they've figured out not to attack an AP GP, he's more or less a cheerleader(E) without his ult. That is even if he makes it out of lane with core items.
