People don't often play him to his full potential even when he is normally easy to play. It is difficult to play a champion with a weak early game compared to a strong one and a lot of people simply prefer the latter.

That said he did get a buff recently. Having wota build out of Kage's and revolver is pretty big imo since it gives you gold for holding onto that revolver and kage's. Which more often than not, kage's will pay for more than the gold amount that the price was increased. (not counting that you now get 15 bonus ap for upgrading)
