I actually find he's a decent solotop. Unlike Swain, his mana costs are rather manageable, so with mp/regen seals you can manage rather well. Due to the short range on most tops, the Q is a strong choice that essentially makes it so where you hardly take any damage in trades due to the shield. His W makes it really easy to escape ganks too

No, he doesn't have the same sustain as swain, but he has more harassment, and there are always ways to alleviate sustain issues.
