I like the armored bear design, even though I'm not much of a fan of the Golden Compass. Still, his kit seems kind of uninspired to me. Much too similar to blitzcrank (a fling instead of a grab, movement and attack speed buffs, a passive that saves you when low on health, lightning as an ultimate), except that you stack health instead of mana. Of course, there are differences in the detail and you get an E with a short fear instead of a knockup, but still, a little more creativity would have been nice.

I guess my problem is that I really want to like this guy, but somehow don't find him fun to play. Maybe it's because his survivability is so good that playing voli isn't much of a challenge. Or maybe it's just that grabbing people is more fun than throwing them.
