He's ridiculously strong right now. He counters just about every meta mid laner; as far as I can remember, Jayce and Diana are the only two remotely viable picks that work against him. I'm sorry, but the silence is absolute bull. You do not "not know how to play someone" who has a burst combo that absolutely OBLITERATES any squishy within a duration of their silence. They can't dash, they can't heal, they can't Zhonya's, there is almost 0 counterplay to an almost instant burst combo under a silence. And that's the entire problem with his kit. You have to either absolutely gut his burst to keep the silence, or get rid of the silence to keep his burst.
