Of course, it will hurt his poke game since he's not even supposed to be anywhere near the enemy unless the jungler is near by. We almost surely will stop seeing high-elo TFs get this as their first item. I've always been a fan of rushing Deathcap after Kage's because TF really needs the huge AP boost to deal moderate-high damage.

However, I will still buy this item (after Cap, Lich, and Void) to help with Gate ganks and for the MR to reduce the opponent's long range attacks. This also helps TF with his E damage too.
