For reference, a compilation of a lot of other things not mentioned in the video which Riot have said:

He still has traits of both mage and tank aspects, however he is designed much more around being a "Vangard" (Diving Initiator Tank) than anything else.

The marble which he's made out of is a particular sort of rock dedicated to being anti-magic, Damacians use it constantly in their archetecture to protect their citizens from magical threats. What we can take from this in game is that he is still an anti-mage who stacks MR.

They're aiming him around being a top or mid laner over support or jungle.

His W is an AoE taunt similar to his old ult, however it works slightly differently.

His ultimate targets an area around an ally and gives them a shield (like Shen), he then flies up and after a delay slams down on the area he initially targeted (even if the ally moves elsewhere). It does damage and has a knockup. Unlike Shen this isn't fully global and just has a very long range.

They tried to make him more gargoyle-y with a kit which involved perching ontop of towers, but it ended up really boring to play as so was scrapped.

Riot also have said a few regrets about the video in that they accidentally made him sound a lot more cocky than he is actually, and that in game he's actually going to seem more joyful than arrogant.
