I'm really not sure about him anymore. Been playing him for days now and the hype has run its course.

The main issue is his complete and utter lack of damage, he's easily the lowest damage champion in the entire game. Nor is he actually very tanky.

He has his strengths with his utility, but his CC is hard to land and situational at least. His most major strength is his roaming power, he can go up and down the river and go anywhere he wants, just turning up constantly to gank his enemies, but without actually contributing any damage to the gank it's impossible to really secure a kill or even burn their flash. The most reliable lane to gank is top because of the wall he can stun them against, but that's the entire length of the map away from bot, and mid will barely flinch from the slow.

Roaming Medic seems to be the best thing he's good at. Placing pickmeups down by his laner's towers in case they need it. Or possibly pulling off a joint-gank with his jungler, ult the enemy from long range, giving his jungler time to walk up towards them with ease.
