Yes, he's "borderline OP"

This guy allows safe tower dive (W is reverse safeguard with EXTREME LONG RANGE, longer then Xerath's!), and a pretty alright shield that allows the whole team to receive as long as they walk to the lantern.

Q is a 1.5 second snare (snare because it allows you to manipulate enemy movement with the hook leashed) that allows you further pull him towards you or you towards him. That's one of the highest stun time ingame, right next to fiddlestick fear (with only Malzahar ult and Galio's ult beating them).

E is a knock foward/knockback. This double use allows MASSIVE manipulation during teamfight.

Ult, if you wanna built him damage, is RIDICULOUS. 800 average (considering you focus on tank) on first target and 400 on all those follow, 99% slow for 2 sec and applies all on hit. Get Liandry's and suddenly the whole team's squishy loses 40% of their health.

No matter how you look at it, the fact he manipulate positioning better then Blitzcrank or Alistar already tells you he's OP. He is however, low damage on average and can't really solo anything. Still see him permabanned on release.
