passive is balanced I guess, but it's so boring. At least the cap is huge so it takes a really long time to reach that.

Main problem that I do find is that almost his entire kit RELIES ON Q. It would actually be more beneficial if he had CDR instead of building as an adc since he relies on it so much. Also, because of how his kit is, he's not really that much of an adc. His combos mostly rely on using Q rather than auto attacking, and his passive barely does much to aid in that.

Finally, what's up with the energy system for this guy? Is he a ki specialist or something? Otherwise the energy system doesn't really mesh well with his character at all. Even if he does go mana, there wouldn't be any need to change the properties of any of his skills. The champions who do use energy usually have ways of maintaining it through the use of immediate energy regen, and that's through using their skills properly. This guy only has costs, but no gains.
