Just played this guy for the first time in ARAM...good lord is his kit contradictory. You want to go in, but you're a squishy mage. You want to keep people in range for your Q and W, but your E is useless if you take damage or repeatedly turn (ie: keep people in W range). You need to follow Q to make it more effective, but enemies can easily side-step it and now you're in their range with no stun. E gives you a massive amount of mobility and engage, but it can be completely stopped if a Morgana simply throws dirt in your path. His ult is a thing, incredibly boring but has its uses.

Obviously, you can get more use out of his E on the Rift, but access to his power is so awkward and conditional that I can't imagine why anyone would want to play him.
