Except he IS incredibly reliant on his ult... If you use your W to go in to chase/initiate on a target, then you have no escape (without burning a flash or something). You have to ult in, then W out to really guarantee a kill. Another really annoying thing about his ult is that if the enemy flashes/blinks out after you target them, you really can't chase much.

Also, due to the timed nature of his ult, it's really easily countered by spellshields/heal/barrier and the like. Just how it is I suppose.
