after his mini rework, he feels pretty strong. im having a blast playing the champ.
i guess the fact that he can actually reach 600 armor and still respectable mr thanks to adaptive armor plays a big role. but yea, hes kindof a boss right now. ive missed playing him, and bulldoze through an adc as if he wasnt even there.
so good work, riot. (hes probably one of the very few champs where thornmail isnt trash right now).

i dont know. i found his early game pretty good against common picks.
if youre talking about until level 4, its not hard to play careful until you tp back into lane with either 
or 
for extra waveclear and ability to trade.
i wouldnt run him against ap top laners like rumble, but he feels like he can keep up with a lot of popular ad top picks.
and those 600 armor werent exaggerated. its literally how much i managed to build up with him lategame. with that much armor, even the new thornmail becomes effective.
