He has kinda strange skill set...

Q is a simple skillshot that damages all enemies that passes trough.

W is a buff that gives him range and magic penetration, but immobilizes him, giving speed buff after immobilize ends (so he could escape more easily).

E is probably a single select-target skill that marks the enemy for the stun with the next ability.

R is probably something similar to Kog'Maw's R or Veigar's W, only that it can be cast 3 times, and then a long cooldown.

So basically what's he gonna do is cast his W buff (before getting a good position), cast his E to mark them, cast his Q to stun them, and shit on them with his 3-hit ultimate... Without his ult his purpose will probably be just stunning enemies with his E+Q, because pressing W while not having your ultimate can cost your life, as you won't have as much of a burst to kill them before they kill you while you're immobilized. That's just my thoughts so far, they could be completely wrong...
