To be fair I really think the changes will put him in a terrible spot. His base damage and scalings were gutted and his laning is gonna be so weak that everyone will take a dump on him. AD match-ups in particular will be even worse than they used to because his shield won't do anything against them compared to the silence. His itemization is gonna be awkward because AP will give him much less damage than it used to, but mana items won't give him much damage either because only his R has a mana ratio.

If they release him in his current PBE state he will hit Urgot levels of win ratio and will never be picked after the first week when people try him out and realize he's trash. So it's pretty much just having 6 bans back and a new friend for Galio, Urgot and co. He might be good though with some extra tweaks I guess. The idea isn't bad, but the execution on PBE has been fucking terrible so far.
