Weakeast early game has to be paid for with the strongest late game :P. His stat durations are really short, and if the enemy has a small escape (like Trist or Lucian, for ADCs), Shairvante is useless for 3 seconds. He has to stick to you, and guarantee a kill, since he's half assassin. If you let him, he WILL destroy you, you just have to deny him and prevent him from dashing a.k.a. use a silence (Malza, Fidd). The auto-attacking only thing is part of his personality, it's how I imagine him. He's an insane mass murderer who loves to slice you. :3
