This is bad. To activate the passive and get the heal, I need to get within a 450 range to auto attack? So, if you are low on health and want to heal, you have to take more free damage before getting a heal ? This is counter intuitive. In addition, how is he supposed to compete against poke and long range champions? Also, all of this assumes he can get into a 450 range without dying. --- Why not just give him a shield like modekaiser and call it a day?

Also Im not happy with the abilities still costing health. Its just doesn't feel right. He is supposed to be a sustain mage  yet he kills himself casting his own abilities....

Also that ultimate  sucks.....
