He's not really supposed to be a tank. He's got nothing that really multiplies tankyness. He's just sposed to be a mage who happens to get a lot of free HP. With items like liandry's and Botrk in the game these days he's hardly that tanky at all anymore, sadly. I really feel he deserves a jump type movement buff or a tankyness buff.

Where his "monster" status comes from is that late game he can spew 1,000+ aoe damage to everyone close enough to him every couple of seconds and with zhonyas/pool and the extra hp, he's super hard to lockdown and kill, unlike other mages who can be bursted instantly if they get caught out.
