If you want a pet that you summon with one button and control with another, you should look at Azir, Annie, Zed and Orianna (although unless the same button is used for both, it can hog a lot of the champion's interface). Zyra can command her plants, which always feels satisfying (more so than if I could simply tell the plants directly, I feel).

Shaco, LeBlanc, Annie, Yorick and Mordekaiser all have fully controllable pets; and only Yorick's ghouls are really uncontrollable (Elise's spiderlings are basically just glorified on-hit effects).

Part of the issue I see with this new champion, at least compared to existing champions, is that he'll either have Azir-tier non-interactive leaning (hide behind your pet) - or the pet will be relatively easily to kill. Having a pet that feels like an extension of the character without just creating a proxy is difficult, and probably why Riot prefers autonomous pets. So I'll remain skeptical. If the new pet is just The Ball you move with right click, that'll be rather boring too - since it can only be better, worse or the same as Orianna, which in any event will feel bad for Orianna or the new champion.
