Mechanically, he's pretty simple; aiming his W in point-blank range is about the hardest thing he does. After you get significant items, he's pretty much "jump-on-this-person-and-they-die"

To counteract that, his kit has a bunch of annoying inconsistencies in it- you can't activate anything (even a flipping potion!) in your ult without breaking stealth/ending ult, his Q applies a DoT that acts over 6 seconds even though the skill only has a 4 second cooldown, etc.

Difficulty of laning is... variable. Worst case scenario, you can just go flask+pots and try to farm early lane. He's easily one of, if not the most vulnerable early laners in the game.
