Meh he isn't so much too difficult as that he just has a really weird powercurve thanks to his passive improving in literally all aspects and possibly being limited by bad spawns. Also most other supports just do what he does, but better. Add to that a very supportive kit that focusses pretty much solely on utility, which makes screwing up even slightly a very big loss and you just get something that feels rather frustrating when things go badly for you.

Also he has the general support issues of being forced to buy items you don't really want, even if support builds have improved considerably compared to the past, while also having stats that aren't exactly what you want either (for example his weirdly low movement speed for a roaming champion). Combine that with the other problems and you just get a champion that just feels a bit dissapointing...
