At least, he used to be.

But now he isn't that great anymore because he runs out of mana incredibly fast and is easily ganked. He is also melee only and his early game isn't that awesome actually. He gets pretty strong lvl 4-5, but before that he's kinda weak.

He has innate sustain but it costs so much mana that w/o blue its basically trading your manabar for some of your health bar.. which isn't worth it most of the time since you can't fight w/o mana.
