This is how he usually feels to most people when they first pick him up. He's got a pretty weak early game kit, and his play style isn't like most mages, even the tanky ones. He's got practically no burst, no cc, And he's not particularly tanky/bruisery starting out either. So he starts out with nothing. If you know how to survive and farm though he rapidly becomes very strong.
