He is perma ban in solo queue because people don't know how or can't be bothered to prevent his ganks and counterjungling; because he's a royal pain in the neck in general; and because it's relatively easy to gank successfuly with him (The difficulty lies in staying alive and using his skillset in tense situations more than dealing damage while ganking).

He's one of the few champ where you actually DON'T need any wards to be safe, just keep an eye on the bushes for the telltale orange puff of smoke and retreat to your tower.

And I wouldn't trade those 3 buffs together for that nerf either.
