*edit*
I misread your post at first.
The changes they made to him made him my favorite character in the game.
I don't know how other people play KotL, but I feel like he's been played wrong what I've read. Everything about him is good. What I do is rush boots of travel and from there, it's whatever. If you do decide to steal all the farm with him, you can rush a Dagon 5 (yeah, I don't recommend this but it's hilarious and somewhat viable with him).
Every single skill KotL has is great. A great nuke. Mana Leak which stuns (seriously amazing), Chakra (level this and just follow Tiny around and watch everyone die, or feed ES Fissure), a solid teleport, and a great AOE blinding/push skill as well as a pretty good teleport for allies.
Try using his ult, setting up Illuminate in the woods, and distracting opponents.
I absolutely love KotL.
