Two games with him mid today, it's has been a long time I haven't played him AP:

2 wins (11/5/17) and (14/5/22).

I start double doran's, sorcs, then catalyst into RoA. From there, either Rylais, Athene's or Deathcap, but i build all 3 in the end anyway. Last slot is for either a defensive item (not always necessary considering the sheer amount of hp you already have) or a voidstaff.

Pros and cons:

+ He farms like a boss

+ Very high burst, especially early game

+ Very good engage/counter-engage

+ High survivability, especially in teamfights

- Bad sustained damage

- Melee

- No scaling MR
