Not really. With his lack of a solid gap closer he relies on Parrrley.

The problem with Parrrley is that it has a 5 second cooldown, making last hitting annoying in those tough spots and allwoing you to only use it 3-5 time per engagement.

Parrrley does benefit a lot from criting, however crit chance is very miniscule at early levels and buying it simply doesn't work well, unless you have crit chance runes to back it up.

Remove Scurvy is highly defensive, which does tie him down slightly. If this was replaced with an agressive ability I am sure he would be a suitable carry.

His kit leaves him in top or mid. He lacks the sustain, or early burst to jungle, and he lacks the all in feel of an adc.

He does have the poke, and zoning of a top laner or mid.
