I've played him on the PBE a bit, he's better than some people give him credit for but also worse in a lot of important instances.
1. If you're playing him in a solo lane or jungle, his clear is awful. He has no AoE at all and scales pretty badly with both AS and AD so there's not much point in doing it right now - although I think as a jungler he might succeed, I haven't tried that yet. Looking at Stonewall's video he's not as bad as I thought he would be though.
2. He's a great offtank. Building some Mpen and health ensures you still have a ton of damage on squishies, though you won't be bursting tanks any time soon.
3. His shield is completely reactional, has a pretty high skillcap like Yasuo wall, except I believe the duration is even shorter.
He's not incredibly good at chasing/peeling in fights around minions. You'll pretty often have to get a perfect Q to slow someone down in minions or wait until they're out of it.
You can use W on yourself.
He's extremely tanky past early game but his damage falls off if you build support, you become more of a pure tank then.
I think he'll become more of a counterpick but p sure he'll do fine competitively. Maybe someone will break him, dunno.

it sucks that if he blocks an ability all the secondary effects still happen to him, unlike yasuos wall which they keep comparing it too
Personally I think that's how Yasuo's wall should've worked. Like the fact that it just cancels out
Explosive Cask completely is pretty stupid.
