Yep and that's why I build partly defensive items on him. Without it you will be focused right away. People who know to focus will focus you always first no matter what. They want you to use the ulti on yourself (which you really shouldn't when your teammate carry needs it too).

With defensive items you can get away and you can chainslowing your enemy while getting attacked. The only problem with this build is that it doesn't have that much AP. But enough mana and CDR to still help your teammates to stay alive. (Chainslow + Chainspeed is golden on your or their carry)
