Been a while, hasn't it. How are you doing today, LBP?

Over the past few weeks, I had been tweaking with Raymond's kit, along with trying to invoke that "free runner fantasy" you were talking about. For sure, I want to have the readers feel that sensation through Raymond, but I need to admit that I have some blindspots/deadends that is keeping me from making anything... innovative aside from the existing kit.

Nonetheless, here are some ideas I had come up with:
 * This may be a backstep from fulfilling the Free Runner theme, but as mentioned above, I felt that Raymond lacked a form of sustain, as he does seem like a potential Jungler. And the pocket-watch he'll have will be a bit iconic to him just as Sauna's gauntlets are to her.
 * The idea is to either offer passive health regen (or no passive) while providing an active that will help him both as a jungler and as a chaser (as he should be). For the former, it is easy to offer a simple shield, although that would be rather awkward as Raymond is not supposed to be reliant on magic (or should I just reason that it is his "will of manliness" that creates a shield?). When it comes to the latter, what came to mind is a slow/root removal, along with tenacity for a duration. I know tenacity may not be the best way to go, but for a champion who should "dominate" when it comes to chasing, being able to resist CC seems fitting, right?
 * The watch itself could be Hextech, maybe unknowingly to Raymond. He claims he is scotch-free from using equipment, but in truth, his watch offers a little "magic" to his capability which he believes is akin to coincidences. Of course, this would clash with my original intention of making him fully organic and truly free of gadgets, but just throwing out some ideas.
 * I also wanted to pitch ideas for the ult. This might game-break a bit since it will grant Raymond another form of dashing, but once again, rather offer ideas than leave them in the dark.
 * After leashing to a champion, Raymond has the capability to reactivate Leash to leap to his target and kick them back towards his initial position, stunning them momentarily upon landing. This allows Raymond to send a fleeing enemy champion backwards into possibly comrades instead of simply slowing them down. The only problem with this is that Lee Sin may be a bit upset since this would give Raymond the capability to do something Lee Sin needs to position himself for.

If you have any comments or questions just ask. I do wish to release this champion soon before I become swamped again with work and projects.
