Horrible to lane against after lvl 6 if ur an AP caster. Decent single target burst (shitty for an assassin though), long silence and nasty slow along with his infamous R. Gets owned by AD casters with high damage or AD bruisers that can tank his damage and still do lots of damage back. Somewhat outclassed in the current meta of AD caster mids.
