I think it's just because his early poke and sustain was too much. Alpha Striking a minion let him poke from reasonable distance without jumping onto the enemy, as well as farming way more efficiently because of the bonus damage, and meditate made him almost impossible to push out of lane. Basically, he could just outfarm and harass you while shruging of pokes with meditate.
