I love him and he is my strongest mid pick. Play safe before LVL6 and become a bruiser afterwards.

To Lotopius: I have to disagree in some points. He is only blue dependant after laning phase if you lasthit. Every midlaner is easy prey for AD assassins, with AOE root and slow (without casting animation!) I survive as easy as with other chars that have a dash.

His first problem is his range. Most mids get one or two AAs more on me while trading hits. His other is, if you get shut down in lane because of skill/ bad matchup/ their jungler, you can never regenerate from that. But his greatest strength is that his utility spells (CC and lifeleech) all do great amounts of damage.

That doesn't mean you are wrong, it is just how you and I play him! No offense!
