Autoattack range and ability ranges are calculated differently. 600 ability range is roughly equivalent to 500 attack range, so most if not all champions can easily harass him in lane if he harasses with his shield, and because he doesn't get the shield until the projectile returns to him, you can usually get at least one hit off before the shield is up. Any mid lane assassin would completely shut him down.
