The passive was intended to be solid the entire game, do you think that is a bad thing?

My new passive doesn't have a cooldown unless he damages an enemy champion or is damaged by an enemy champion. So he saves his defences until he is in combat with an opponent.

Its true he does have counters but doesn't the entire concept of a counter sound broken to you? Things should be more based on skill than picks, and I was trying to brauden his counter play. If he has more counter play, it would be possible to buff him in other areas, or adjust the counter play.
