I hear you on that. His early game is pretty survivable - but you're not going to be ganking at level 2 and if you're in mid, you're up to level 6 pretty early. You do have to play defensively and you suck at clearing mobs early if you get pushed.

I do find that I have to take some turret damage early in the game to avoid feeding. Depending on who you're fighting, I find you can be a lane bully to get them to play a little more passive. Versus people like Morgana, Kennen - you have to stick behind mobs to avoid their skillshots and play an aggressive poke game.

If you rush your tear, as soon as you get that and start gaining your bonus mana, you're golden. He is a beast at mid / early endgame team fights (cheap to build to full compared to a lot of tanks).
