He's definitely not bad. His single target burst potential is significant as long as you open with ult. Has good harass with shadow + q.

However, his energy management is pretty terrible til late. His shadow is the only way he gets energy back and the cooldown on it is ridiculous even with the reduction from e, which requires you to hit multiple enemies if you want to get a significant cd reduction. This and the fact that he can have two shadows out, but only deal dmg from 1 (when hitting the same target. this applies to his shurikens as well) is just retarded.

Players should have the option of sacrificing their escape (w) to do more dmg when bursting with ult if they choose to.
