I can imagine him he is going to be one of those initiating supports (which I don't play often). It also seems like he is going to be very hard to lane with because of the timing. One thing that will keep the lane passive though is his lantern which I am sure will be a nice counter against any one who does stuns pulls or knockbacks. I would probably pick him if the enemy team went with someone like Taric, Leona, Blitz, or Alistar.
