This guy is in prime position to become FotM because he counters the currently popular AD mids really hard with Malefic Visions. It auto-zones them from the creepline by virtue of it's mechanics, has a TON of base damage and good ratio too, not to mention that it will keep your mana pool nice and full while pushing your lane so you can roam whenever you please (his ganks are pretty scary when his ult is up). And against the usual AP mids he can push and harass on par with most of them, so it's not like he's a niche pick either, he's competetive against standard AP mids and shits on the AD mids.
