Good lord. This guy seems like he will be a VERY fun champ to play. Jumping into the middle of the team as an adorable little fluff ball, but landing in as a menacing beast. Gypsylord has done it again.

EDIT: Damnit. For some reason, my phone didnt update the site for me. Disregard this post people!
Yes, that is Morgana. A thank you to Ubnoxius for this sig!

So what other roles do you guys think he will play besides top? Or do you think he'll be a top only champion?

I posted it somewhere else about his jungling being potentially ****py. I watched Stonewall try it too and he's got abysmal sustain on top of unreliable ganking. Mid would be iffy too because he's forced to be melee at times. The same would obviously kill his ability to be an ADC and support.

Riot's actually done a pretty good job at restricting roles on new champions lately. They actually managed to keep Braum away from any role but support, and it seems this guy will only be good at top laning.

This champion seems absolutely ridiculous, 3 forms of CC when in mega form, and a mult-target CC ultimate. Also features a gap-closer.

Ever since Riot started to put more time into their champs, every kit feels like "Oh we've got to have this in there too." That's a pretty terrible way to design characters in a competitive game. Not that long ago, top laners were either bruisers or tanks. The bruisers would be a mix of damage and tankiness; they would go for the carries and take them out. The tanks would feature a solid amount of CC and soak damage for the team while dealing significant damage over time. Now every new champ just has it all.
