    Put him safelane with pretty much any support and he wins the lane against anything. Level 3 with 1 point in each skill he'll just run you down with his 315 base movespeed and slow you to a complete crawl while magic immune and you can't do anything if you don't have a blink. Then you snowball him with some early farm building phase boots -> Drums -> Armlet -> Basher and win by 25 minutes with your team. A super strong carry for this patch where he just dominates lineups that aren't equipped to deal with his early magic immunity and mobility.

    6.86 buffed his lategame a tad bit but I still wouldn't take him there. The thing with infest is you can do a ridiculous 3x 125dmg rock stun combo if you infest a mud golem at level 6 with good micro cause you get to control the golem splits when you burst out. That shit's borderline broke.
