If you want to try it, go bot lane with a support. Too many people make the mistake of trying to run mid lane with him, but he's way too weak for that, and he has essentially no poke.

Once you get DFG and nashor or lich bane, you should be hitting a bit of a power spike, and you only get scarier from there. Your earlygame is terribad, though.
