Serpentine Champion

I saw a comment recently that Ao Shin was delayed for release because of difficulties coding a serpentine champion and making it look nice. I have this nice little work around that is probably really easy to implement: http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/1/1a/AoShinSquare.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/110?cb=20130908112811

Serpentine Form: Ao Shin's body is composed of several visible, invulnerable minions which follow him in a chain. damage that would be dealt to those minions is instead dealt to Ao Shin. Because of his unique form, Ao Shin may wind his body around to block the path of enemy champions. If Ao Shin is Stunned, Suppressed, knocked up, or airborn for any reason, enemy champions may path through his space at 50% normal speed.

Wouldn't this solve the problem? It may not be a clean solution, but having a serpent like creature able to literally wind itself around and trap you? That would be awesome, wouldn't it? It would completely change how you viewed your foes in a duo lane.
