Your impressions about him ?

To me, he seems a bit on the weak side after a few games. Sure he has nice CC but it's highly conditional. Hitting your Q is freaking hard on moving targets. E is so so as the armor shred last for a very short time. Still, E could be good in lane if you get good at aiming it by throwing minions. It's nice damage if you up it 1st and the mana cost is stable so you could poke them to death. W is ok and ult is pretty hard to land. Problem is, even if you land all his attacks, it doesn't feel that satisfying as they often escape you. This guy is pretty slow and kitable and his ult is his only gapcloser. I think they should change the Q to make it a bit like Vi: you could still move with a slow on you but the direction of the spell would be fixed. That way, they can evade you but you could follow on your Q in you ever land one. Most of the time, even if you land Q, by the time you walk to them, your knockup/slow has already expired. Problem with Q: ranged heroes will get out of range, melee heroes will get behind you.

Also, the windup on the passive is a true pain in the ass. Right now, people aren't used to him and stay near his body but they will soon learn to get away as soon as he's dead and Sion won't catch anyone with his passive.
