If it makes you feel any better, his W skill (Summon Sand Soldier) has a pretty short cooldown (Feels short ingame). You need to be patient in the laning phase, but lategame you will be constantly controlling 3 soldiers simultaneously if you spec into CDR.

I did some calculations and it seems soldier stacks can be recharged in as less as 4.8 seconds, meaning it is currently impossible to have more than 3 soldiers up at a time since they last 9 seconds (4.8 > 9 / 2 ).

His kit is plenty hard to keep up with too, you'll wish it were less complex.

One thing I noticed is that W cast range is very short (Meaning you can only summon soldiers really close by), but you can dash towards a soldier from a very far range. This means his dash is terrible for chasing, but great for escapes and planned ganks (Placing soldiers ahead of time to jump to).
