At some point in the past I bought him, and I just took him for a test run.
Wow, is he easy to play.
Every 5th time he makes a basic attack he gets to cast a spell with no mana loss, so I almost never ran out of mana even at early levels.
His Q is a built-in, bottomless health potion, but better. At level 1 it hits a minion/monster for 300 (I think) points of true damage, and heals Nunu for 200ish+ AP modifier.
He has a built-in buff with his W that speeds up you and a friend by about 25% movement and attack. The buff lasts longer than the cooldown for it.
His E is cheap and does middling damage and has a really good slowdown, so it is like a built-in Crystal Scepter.
Taking him full AP... the one game I played I had about 670 AP, made his ult do 2500+ damage to all enemies caught in the radius (100oish base, and 250% AP modifier). This will take out most full-built, fully healed support and glass cannon champions... and we all know the bug about casting it in the weeds. Even before I was built, at level 6, that ult would do over 800 points to every champ stuck in the circle.
Taking him full AP, with no armor (aside from the Crystal Scepter which has 400ish health) or attack damage items, I had 3500 hit points and was doing 270 damage per basic attack. This had him chewing through towers pretty fast, combined with his speed up buff.
One of the easiest champs I have ever played.
