"Riot knows that he's weak. They are already toying with buffs for him and it's been, like, 2 weeks since his release."

This doesn't garauntee that people simply haven't learned him yet. Look at Yasuo and Lucian. They both got buffs the patch after their releases and have only ever after seen nerfs since because they dominated their roles once people began playing them well.

This happens pretty frequently too. Lee Sin, Irelia, Galio, Caitlyn, all of these champs were considered shit tier until people developed strong tactics, laning strategies, mechanical skills, and reliable builds. These champs all flourished without much meta change at all, which can also cause an UP champ to gain popularity (Hi S3 AD assassins!).

I can't say for sure he'll take off but I know that he's already taking off in Korea with a build similar to S1 Irelia, triforce, then hard tank items.
