He's too easy to fight against in mid-lane (i'll put him in mid).

If i am someone with a passive that makes my normal attacks stronger (like orianna) i can make sure he get's no CS at all.

Don't forget before the minion arive in the lane he has lost ALL his mana and got both debuffs. So he can't shoot anything. Then as orianna i just walk to him and start auto attack, my passive makes sure i do twice the dmg to him then he does to me with just auto attacks. Then finish it off with a well placed ignite, and mayby a last spell to end it. By the time he gets mana from my spell he's dead anyway.

So without some serious jungle pressence to remove his debuff he's shit vs such champs (TF passive, kennen passive, orianna's passive etc. etc.)
