I used to main him during S2, and sometime during early S3. It used to be a cheap mid lane because... Well, you build both what counters any AP mid and what you scale with.

If I stopped playing with him was because it's pointless to put a MR tank in mid when suddenly you have to face mid characters like Zed, Lee Sin, Talon, and Pantheon. I like to pick him from time to time, he's still really fun and a great character, it's just that the meta put him out of place.
