Wow, that's a massive buff to his shield. Over twice the ratio and increased base value. Too bad it only lasts for 1.5 seconds. Champions like Orianna, Lux or Diana have shields that work against all types of damage and they last for way longer than 1.5 secs.

If Riot decreased the stack decay timer from 12s to like 10s and increased the mana ratio slightly he'd be in a pretty good shape. Right now he's still a bad choice for mid lane.
