User blog comment:NeoArex/Champion Concept: Driger, The Sandbender/@comment-9092778-20130901090545

the passive of the sand shield is mainly for temfights considering driger should be the one taking the hits while his team gets healed

his ultimate can be used to lock down a target during teamfights (you can even lock down their tank in order to focus their carries)

he will probably act as a supportive tank, I migth need to add some more cc for that
