Now that I am not exhausted anymore (it was pretty late in my region when I worked on it and I wanted to sleep, but also wanted write this down before), the innate scaling is really horrible. I'm surprised that the rest of the kit looks alright.

I hotfix'd it to 50% for now, it should make it impossible for him to outrange towers now even with runes and masteries. He also now needs 102 AP to outrange most other melee character, 152 to outrange ulting Riven, 352 to outrange Wukong's Q and 402 to outrange ulting Aatrox. Based on Amplifying Tome, a single point of AP costs 21.75 gold, so Firnoa needs 2218.5 gold to get 102 AP. Let's say he gets Amplifying Tome and Needlessly Large Rod for 100 AP and get the 2 AP through runes/masteries, then he needs to invest 2460 gold for AP alone.

Looks balanced enough for an hybrid Assassin.
