1. mikhail's marginalizes his ulti's power in lane, rendering his most reliable jungler escape mechanic far less safe. so while he's good in lane, he's hardly safe even post 6.

2. he deals split damage and his optimal spell damage patterns take a lot of time to set up, and require him to ignore his safe spell cast range to get into AA range.

3. weaker steroid that does nothing for his primary source of damage and isn't very reliable.

despite this I find him really fun and he's my favorite ADC.
