Vision of Empire is quite difficult to land on its own, look for skirmishes around the map where enemies may be distracted or crowd controlled so you can land it more easily.
If you're having trouble rooting an enemy with Nevermove, try throwing it at opponents when they are near their minions so the explosion surprises them.

Volcanic Rupture can be used to set up zoning areas to threaten enemies.
Learning build paths of items can help quickly select upgrades in lane.
The order of your abilties matters! Try to optimize Brittle usage.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Ornn.
