his q doesn't really make too much sense. the skillshot is very small, short range, and the heal is negligible unless you're going windspeaker's blessing/stacking a ton of AP

his w's alright, but its extremely telegraphed and not too challenging to dodge as long as you remember to run to the exit closest to you instead of just backpedaling constantly

his e, eh the shield is barely more than lee's shield, and while the 2 charges are nice, late game that shield is really not protecting anyone from getting blown up.

his r is pretty cool, and really decides whether or not his w is a good ability.

r then w into a grp is nice for an instant charm/knockup, but honestly they counteract eachother since its a 1s charm and 1s knockup. only getting the benefit of one of those cc's

all in all, i think he's kind of underwhelming and see no real reason to pick him overBard.

His E mid to late is insane, it's crazy how much shielding he gives, it's more than double ivern and on a shorter CD.

His Ult into W charms for the duration of the windup which is crazy since it's a 2 second CC lock

I agree about his Q, but his E is fine. At max rank you have 2X 190+ 80% AP shield ( basically 380 + 160% AP ). If used both shields on the same target it should be enough to protect that ally from most bursty champions.

His Q is fine. he is Mobile so it makes sense that he wouldn't have a super potent harass tool. It synergises with his E, as you can carry the heal to an ally to make the heal go off immediately. With W and R its very easy to get off.
