And you can't stay out of combat for even longer, because otherwise you would loose last hits and fall back. And then you loose the game because of that.

That is why, if the passive only gets stopped by monsters and champions, he can last hit way easier and this forces the enemy to harass you, or he will loose the lane. This way, you can counterpick champs which have no good poke.
