it's not that his laning is just ridiculous. he scales p well into late being very slippery in fights while being able to pick off low targets very easily. he has tons of burst capabilities w/ his ult and w and if he does get behind in lane, he has so many opportunities to come back if you're just in the right place.
also how is ranked any different from normal draft pick? i see it all the time here how ranked is some spooky scary thing that should only be touched once in a blue moon.
