... they literally just turned him into a generic diver/vanguard, with only a slight caveat in that his "big engage" must target an ally. He's just another Maokai, Zac, Amumu, Sejuani, etc, now, and this comes right after they released a series of dev blogs vilifying their old tank designs from being generic and relying too much on damage instead of interesting and engaging tanking tools.

I would rather they made him a real tank, especially one that fits their vision for what tanks should be. His old Bulwark ability was at least slightly engaging because it meant he was only durable in-combat, and it also cleverly distinguished DPS from burst rather than being all-powerful.

Plus I really get an Aatrox vibe from him now. Feels like the Aatrox that Aatrox's lore promised - a dark valkyrie that turns up at the last moment to turn the tides of a battle.
