I don't think he'll be underpowered, not in the least bit. He has far too much global pressure and utility for that. I think he'll be misused, if anything. He has the potential to either turn the tide of a teamfight by a landslide or completely ruin it for his team.

His Q is like an easier version of. It can stun through minions if landed right and lasts for just as long (and actually lasts longer once his Q is maxed, I might add).

His W provides a good way to either disengage or get a tank to initiate a fight, as well as keep teammates healed. That mana cost is kind of high, though.

His E...well, this one is about as self-explanatory as his W. While I don't think it will be particularly useful in engaging, it'll probably be a fantastic disengaging tool, especially considering its range is the entire length of the wall that's being traveled over and does not have a fixed range limit. While it's kind of wonky that an enemy can travel through it as well, I believe that this odd trait can have its uses as well (probably will be used for baiting).

His R is obviously the trickiest part. You can put your team in a terrible position by misplacing an E, but misuse of his R would be incredibly devastating. I can see a lot of trolls using this for their amusement lol

A lot of utility, and the ability to make good plays. Not underpowered in my eyes, but very dangerous to his own team, which is, well, potentially bad, but not underpowered. At least to me lol
