I really hope he'll get 20% of his AP as Armor+Magic Resistance, so he would be able to hold himself if attacked and be a long-range artillery "support" (in terms of covering fire) instead of a APC like kennen or others that just wreck enemys.

For his mage Chains, I'd hope he gets a worthy stun or a spammable skill, otherwise i think it'll be close to impossible to get kills (yes, I know it's not his primary job in mid, but he should at least have the potential to do so even with a high difficulty). Reason for this is quite simple;

Q = Casttime

W=  Delayed

E = ???

R = Immobilized

Doesn't exactly help you to do anything even remotely dangerous to most champs, on top of it, 2 skills require him to stay in place what makes him a 100% hit for skillshots/aoe and even IF he gets 20% of his AP as passive MR+Armor he'd end up being a easy picking for the usual dmg dealer unless he gets insane ratios on his spells that then get nerfed later.
