Interesting champion (couldn't help thinking that this was a male counter-part to Riven because of that title...). I would like to hear a lore with this champion.


 * In your innate, you forgot to put how long the Wounded mark lasts. I assume 4-6 seconds is a good duration. Also does the mark get consumed?
 * The scaling is...quite exponential. As in, it's +20, then +30, then +30, but then +60. Kind of...well, that can always be changed. Overall, if this guy is such a fighter, the damage fits fine.
 * W: Two things are considerably missing: the range and also the part about "first strike". The range should be small since he already has the E as a dash, such as 300. The "first strike" should be more about if he has been in battle or not in the last X seconds; if yes, he doesn't deal double damage; if no, he does deal double damage. If it's just "first strike", someone who plays Vain can mark champion A, quickly attack another enemy, champion B, then strike the champion A to both inflict double damage and that stun...even if it has a larger cooldown compared to his other abilities...
 * The E's dash is average and has little problems from what I see...
 * 50 second cooldown...with this ult, he'll probably be a late-game beast....especially if he can get permanent health. Most champions by lvl 6 will have at least 1000 health, but bye late game, if he KS a lot, he'll be stealing lots of health, making him a health tank. He'll top of Sion in receiving max health.

One thing that I do have to comment about is the uneven scaling which is purely exponential. With low early game damage, his late game is buffed...Also, his ult is kind of...

Looking at the design, I would really like to see the background of this champion, whether if it fits or not...I apologize if my comments were rude, but these are my honest opinion...
