I wanted to experiment with an artificial tanky route. It has very strong lategame teamfight survival, but since the shield is uhh..."Sustained shielding" is leaves him vulnerable to burst. If you can burst the initial shield hard enough, the following mini shields are low enough to chunk through. That was my theory at least. Of course if you let him farm 300 minions you might have a problem.
