because he is shittier right now.

he used to be very good, but his E was changed, decreasing his gankpotential is earlygame (which was his best pressure tool) and the box duration was set to 60 so he couldnt dualbuff. after the Q range nerf, it was over for him.

he saw a small revival in use after the jungle changes, making him a very strong and hard-to-deal-with counterjungler, playing the "smite the buff and kill the jungler" game.

after they changed it to having to kill the buff and a small minion however, he moved right into shittier now. his mobility isnt that great, his damage is mediocre at best, and he is so squishy that you can just 2shot him instead of running from him when getting ganked.

he also offers no real hard-CC, as any AoE (also hydra, tiamat actives/passive), etc etc will kill the boxes off easily. he can be used as a splitpusher and can do so quite well due to his good escapes, however are there better chars to splitpush and get away (nidalee, riven, shen, jax, renekton), who arent utterly useless at everything else.
