Importing this guy into League? Well... we don't have a anthropomorphic rhino or elephant champion yet, so there is that space to explore...

The largest problem with this kit is that your passive, currently, doesn't actually do anything. It gives him his resource, sure, but consider that every other champion with a unique resource has a passive that has an effect beyond just defining their resource and/or describing how it is gained or used. Those two things - defining and describing it - come as a supplement to their passives. As you have it, he sacrifices an entire ability slot (his passive) just to enable his other abilities.

I'm also baffled as to why you seem to want an AD caster-carry (super spammable abiliites, loves auto attacks) so hamstrung by his resource. On the one hand, you have his cooldowns artificially deflated, and on the other, he's hamstrung by his resource (on top of not having a real passive). I think this would only frustrate the player, as there will be times when you have all of your abilities up only to not be able to use them.

I'm also going to echo Primus' thoughts about his ultimate being Kindred's passive. I'm not impressed. :/

On a flavor / thematic note, he's an assassin / marksman. Yet I imagine a elephant / rhino humoid. I can see him being human, too, but then where does Foreshadow come in? A hero adorned with all sorts of relics and weapons and artifacts, yet suddenly his presence fortells doom on some unsuspecting yordle? Explain it like I'm five, please.

Sorry, if I'm too harsh. It's because I care.
