He's intended to be able to replace an ADC on certain team-comps, mainly those that are able to peel and lockdown enemies for him. He does truly disgusting damage with the rework if he manages to get to his target, he's also super-hard to poke or trade-with in lane due to the shield, he gets full exp even in a duo-lane AND he's got the dragon nearby for his ult to control.

I think he can be viable with a team prepared to play to his strengths. I think people are just having a knee-jerk reaction because it's a huge change.
