Of course I know why he has this high MR, I just don't think it's justified. His laning phase it pretty decent for a meele Assassin, because he has a pretty reliable push with his W and his Q gives him everything he needs to farm under the turret if he needs to. He can actually just sit back and push in the wave with his W until he is level 6 and can force a fight, similar to Ekko with his Q.

If his laning phase was as horrible as something like Katarinas I'd say it's justified. But his laning phase os pretty good. And this high MR becomes an even bigger problem when he builds this allready strong item called Hexdrinker. With this constellation you pretty much remove the enemy midlaner from existence damagewise, if he uses primarily magic damage.

For reference, and why I think that his base MR is way too high, he has the highest level 1 MR, with every other melee (with some exceptions) only having 32.1. And he doesn't even have a low MR per level to compensate that, he has the same growth as any other melee. He turns these match ups that you've mentioned (Ori, Cassio ect.) from match ups that favor them to match ups that he stomps simply because they won't deal any damage to him. As a melee assassin.
