I was looking back over Raymond and reading Will's criticism. He makes some good points.

And in doing so, I thought of something:

What if Raymond's W (Free Running) was like channel / charge. You would press and hold the W key, causing Raymond to begin channeling (running), building up movement speed to a cap. The hold part is important, as releasing the W would cause Raymond to jump / leap / vault over terrain. The ability would be on a very low cooldown (like 1 second) and activating / reactivating it as Raymond lands will cause him to land softer / smoother / retain some of his speed.

I also think you could tie his Q (Crowd Control) into this W in some neat ways.


 * While holding W and running, pressing Q would cause him to slide.


 * While in the middle of his leap he would do some fancy acrobatics, possibly dealing damage in a unique AoE.


 * Pressing it as he lands causes him to do something cool, IDK.

You see what I'm getting at? Just some food for thought.

P.S. Raymond should have mana, because Riot has associated mana with water and keeping with that analogy, that mana is tied to water, is beneficial to Raymond's flavor.It's blue, it's fluid, and, in it's own way, unstoppable.
