His ganking and teamfight are absurd, his pushing/farming powers are pretty good. His big downside counterjungling/getting counterjungled. If someone comes in to steal my stuff and fight me, I'm usually better off just roaming and ganking than trying to fight back. His damage is pretty low if you're building tank (which you should be, given his kit and role), so trying to 1v1 that Shy/Jax/GP/LS that comes to take your Red or whatever does not end up very well. But like I said, using his CC just makes or breaks him. Pre-6, it's pretty good (displacement-snare-slow), post-6, it's downright lethal. Adding in that knock-up and stun means whoever you tag with your ult is dead unless they blow all summoners and cooldowns. His ult is a carry-killer in teamfights. If you can hit the entire team with the knock-up, great! If not, you still secure the kill on that Cait/whatever and turn the tide in your favor. I've been doing Regrowth-Boots-Philo-HoG-Aegis-(FoN/FH/Shurelia)-situational as a usual build. I'd like Abyssal over FoN at times for a bit more damage, but the MS is just too necessary on his slow ass. | ||

Of course he's good. Look at his kit. It doesn't matter how much damage he does, his level of disruption is just insane. I don't know how good he'll be for solo q, but once people figure him out, he will do very well in arranged comps. Sejuani is the same way. | ||

The way his Q and R work is great. I'm wondering about, against a good peeling team, trying to flank to Q the tank/initiator away from his backline (and get closer), flash over him to get even closer and then ult the farthest possible enemy/squishy. Obviously it's not as good as Qing a squishy and ulting another when they're all bunched, but added with his passive and E I think maneuvers like that could work to split teams or keep a bruiser/peeler from helping his carries/diving yours while you trod towards the core of the fight. | ||

It's quite possible Fiona ulti will work something like Kennen ulti to gimp some of the 1v1. It's not 'quite possible,' it is stated right there in the text that it will work that way(well, not the limited to 3 hits part, but the reduced damage per hit in place of hit). It both reduces it's effectiveness in 1v1, and also reduces the chances of RNG when used in a multiple target scenario(Kennen's ult even has a psuedo-rng mechanic where it preferentially targets enemies who don't have a mark already to spread them out more evenly). Again, numbers aren't available yet so we'll see how strong it could still be(extreme hypothetical: it's 300 damage a hit for 4/5/6 hits, even having hits after the first reduced by 50% would still be obscene damage in a 1v1, and a potentially 1k+ damage aoe to 3+ targets), but they've set it up to be really disappointing, like a glorified alpha strike. | ||

Definitely viable on Lee Sin. I jungle him with smite/exhaust all the time. Just make sure you have a ward on you so you can W to safety when you have to. | ||

Played against one yesterday, initial impressions: 1) His early game feels pretty ridiculous. His W shields for a ton and he has basically infinite CC. Also, excellent mobility from his Q. Early game ganks he felt unkillable and you basically couldn't move. 2) I see him sort of like a better Sejuani. He doesn't feel very viable in solo queue because his damage doesn't scale well. The one I played the game opened something like 6/0/4, then lost the game because his team wasn't very coordinated. I think he'd be really solid in arranged teams where people are good/coordinated enough to use his infinite CC to pick off players. | ||

Nah, you'd miss out on a free auto. Didn't they change it so that all champions attempt to AA directly after a gapcloser? I'm 99% sure that applies for the monkey aswell. Sure, later on, it's not a big deal, but I'd argue the difference between having that AA or not having it can be pretty detrimental early game. | ||
