All of the things he does well are done better by someone else.

He's good at sustained damage, but Ryze does more damage, is tankier, and has a more useful cc. Orianna has similar sustained damage but far better utility. He has decent poke, but so does Lux, and she brings much better utility. His ult gives him some global presence, but Karthus does it better (Lux too, arguably).

And in general, his kit is pretty weak for an AP mid. He has no reliable burst, no reliable cc and no team utility. And he's one of the more blue-dependent mids.
