He can use his Q in front of him to get a burst of move speed (the only problem is that the cast time can sometimes get you killed if you try to use it to run).

His E is brilliant for escaping melee champs as they have to stay in the leash to catch you which will cause them to get feared which should be enough to stop most champs from catching you.

The spell shield is actually really good as so long as you time it right and block a key spell then it can singlehandedly save you or let you win a close duel, if you are running and they use some cc to try and catch you then you can just spell shield and walk away. In fights you can block a cc ability (which is typically melee carries and assassin's Achilles heel) or you can use it to block a hard hitting spell which would have put you in a lot of trouble (most of the hard hitting abilities have a travel time or a delay that you can spot and use to time the shield). Also while any attack speed item is better than the passive, the passive's attack speed is completely free (it's not a giant advantage but it is nice to get free attack speed especially on champs that has kits which benefits from attack speed like nocturn).
