Competitive-wise, he's still a pretty strong pick...I mean even right now, I pick him almost 80% of the time I go top lane, simply because when played properly, he can wreck the face of almost ANY top laner to come...

In teamfights also, because of his ult, he can be un-peelable, and armed with the damage of an extra bloodthirster for 6 seconds...however, the reason he's played less in solo-queue would be his comparitively low mobility....unlike Irelia, Jax, and almost every other commonly played top laner with gap closers, cc and burst out of the wazoo, he depends on sustained damage for the majority and thus while he CAN'T be peel, he NEEDS peel or they will just focus and kill him before he can get to the carry....

In solo-queue, this can't be guarenteed, but when it comes to a team, they can work together easily and use the best of his "F*** YOU ALL! CARRY DIES NOW!!!" play style....
