the page mentions that he'll drop acorn bombs and can teleport on to lightly armored foes. I'm not sure how thats like malph, unless you mean that the TP will be like Malph's ultimate.

his acorn bombs have been described as working like "spider mines" from Starcraft, which means they won't explode imediately but will be able to move and track foes once in proximity.

we don't really know much about him besides this. I'm not really concerned if he's somewhat similar to other champs if it means that he'll be a genuinely viable Tank, its one of the biggest problems in LoL right now and stirring up the Tank variability would lead to changes in other areas of the game (just look at how Galio's popularity lead to the short lived AoE ult meta).
