Thanks for the feedback!

I'm considering changing the passive to have a cap of say +10 (level 1) / +20 (level 7) / +30 (level 13) for the flat stats and maybe +10% (level 1) / +15% (level 7) / +20% (level 13).

The Q change is a nice idea. I guess I was trying to put all his burst into his E when I was writing this up.

The W issue is me screwing up, it should have been per half-second but I lost my mind while I was typing I suppose. I intended it to have moderate magic damage with high AP scaling + the AP scaling passive on his Ultimate to give him a slightly troll AP/AS build.

I'm glad that I got the E right! I was considering naming it "There Is No Escape," because of the movement speed debuff when enemy's backs are turned. In case you're wondering, the .5 second channel time is to open up counter-play with it. How I imagine it is Torak extending his sickles overlapping in front of him, then whipping them out to the sides (trailing dark, smoky tendrils, to make it look cool). The .5 seconds where he is extending the sickles gives players a chance to turn around briefly to avoid the slow, like how you can avoid being stunned by Cassiopeia if you're quick about it.

Now that I think about it, his Ultimate does stealth him for slightly too long. The thing is that he can't stealth again unless he uses his E or auto-attacks, which would drop him out of stealth near an enemy. It isn't like, say, Kha'Zix's Ultimate where he can just stealth again immediately to run away. 2-2.5 seconds is probably the best amount of time to be stealthed I think right now.

Oh, I do now realize that I didn't give a description of Torak. He's slightly taller than average. He wears black/grey armour bound with ragged red and grey cloth. He either wears a spiked helmet or just has very pale, white hair. He wields two sickles that appear to be rusting and notched along the edges. He leaves a faint trail of shadow behind him as he walks and his abilites would generate more of the shadow. His eyes are pure black (not black irises/no irises, there is no white), but not reflective, they are like the mouths of caves. His ears are slightly pointed and his canines longer than is normal. Despite these features his face is quite handsome, and his voice is melodic and sounds almost like music, but a malevolence and anger can be heard when he speaks.

Speaking of speaking, I already have two of his quotes. When he uses E and the opponent is slowed, he says: "Going somewhere?" / "There is no escape!"

I'm thinking he's either a corrupt Ionian like Varus or Syndra or another former resident of the Shadow Isles.
