You don't play the Spirit Walker much do you?

His ganks are only avoidable well in advance. By the time you see him in the bush next to your lane its already too late, he'll be on your ass before you can fall back to your tower.

Slows? There is a reason Swiftness boots are a fantastic item on him, couple that with Tenacity from a Zephyr or Masteries (or both) and maxed out Bear Stance... Well you aren't getting away if you turn around to try and kite.
