If you stop to think, each ability is a combo of, like, 3 or 4 different in-game skills, wich is still impressive and good. For example, his soldiers are like a mix of Heimer's machines, Syndra's balls (as they can be moved with a skill) and Zed's shadows( as he can use them to move around). His ult is a bit of a mix of Anivia's wall, Gnar/Syndra's knockbacks and Jayce's gate.

It also really amazed me that His ult is not just another copy of Nasus's.
