I like the ideas behind him. But the problem i see is that he is suppose to be an assassin but all of his abilites( i guess passives) require multiple hits to take full affect. U dont see talon autoing his targets to death, he jumps on them, QWRs them, then autos the remaining hp(if any). But the way this champion is set up u have to auto first, then use ur ablities to get the max damage.

For the Q, is the ability a set distance? Like fizz's q or is a dash to target like irelia? Besides that questions I like the move. It seems overall balanced.

W applies full stacks of passive which i can see making up for the necessary 3 autos. But again ur an assassin u want ur damage instant, your not tanky so if it takes 5 seconds for the damage to get the full effect then the enemy has time to kill u. And u dont have an escape move, so u dont have time for the posion to kill the target. Additionally i think a snare is a little strong on an assassin type chamion. Because of his ablitly to dash to a target with Q then he can snare them there is a little overpowering I feel. Though i guess its not a stun so idk. I could be okay. I mean irelia has a dash and stun...

E i like. But again not really suited for an assassin. They passive gains could be buffed a little and a refresh would be a great addition to the ability.

Finally my opinions on R, his ult, is completely OP. It basically says he does true damage for the next 3 seconds with all attacks and abilites. Plus he has passive shredding, which makes his damage ratio higher than true damage, taking the opponent into negative resistances. And this makes tanks completely pointless against him. So an enemy, who has spent the entire game getting armor and mr to protect his team, can be cut down like he was an AD carry but without the damage to fight u off. Its just way to powerful, even on a long CD. But i guess this ability could make him an assassin lol.

So basically i think this champ is more like an irelia/gangplank/darius champ, not an assassin but a bruiser. Someone you build a mallet, wits end, trinity, and defensive items on. But i like the ideas behind him. NIce job.
