There was a leaked rework kit back in July that I think at least shows what kind of things they are thinking, and it really all looked pretty good to me, and not even a major change to anything but his laning as far as his gameplay and tactics... The main thing is they seemed to be making all his abilities more reliable and damaging late game, including his slow and stun (though they made the slow stronger and moved it to a large area around his grenade), his rockets a little more aimable and better at focusing in teamfights, his turrets able to shoot strong long range aoe bursts...

Laning was the major change, and it seemed their major focus was to shift his zoning power away from his turrets just passively zoning by themselves (the machine guns are a little weaker), and more to him zoning actively by protecting them and getting several up, and combining abilities with them (kind of like zyra and her seeds) to make them shoot those strong bursts (3 at once would be a MAJOR nuke).
