I think the main problem with this guy is that their is no real way to build him effectively so he is always going to be overshadowed by every other champion. You can't build him with ap as his scaling is really low which means you won't get much damage out of him, it isn't that efficient to build him tanky as his base stats are quite low so he will always be a quite squishy tank no matter what you build, there isn't enough items to be able to go for a utility build and you can't build ad as his low range coupled with his immobility would just be the death of him.

I think that riot should probably boost his base stats to make him more of a utility tank or boost his scalings so he can be built with ap. That way he might be more viable (with a couple of other tweaks like increasing the Qs projectile speed).
