He was doing well in top lane?

They gave him a revenge passive because they obviously weren't going to keep that ultimate no matter what. I've been told that Q is one second. I've seen longer successful cast times and spells missle speeds. His E can knockback a minion and shred armor of the first target struck. Hit a minion it slides into several targets slowing them as well. That's not really Kog'maws Oozeball if you think about it.

The new ult is thematic. He's a rampaging revenant so he literally gets a train run going and collides with targets. At the very least it's going to make amusing plays where you use it rush to a battle in progress or you flank or charge from out of player sight. The ult is a 100 seconds at rank two. At rank three it's 60 seconds. Basically every engagement or encounter and more so with CDR which he will have.

His shield has les AP on it so we don't still end up with AP Sion which was the playstyle that needed to get axed and if we've learned anything from Riven you can't just make a AD ratio shield. That's even harder to balance. It scaling off of the enemies health for offense and yours for Defense is still a fair compensation for a spell that used to be bursty and impenetrable.
