 * In general, mages are capable of dealing well with marksmen, as their burst can kill them before they can return the same amount of damage, and fighters, as their crowd control tends to make them excellent kiters. However, they are easily shut down by assassins who can often bypass their reach and spells completely, and tanks, who can lock them down and soak up their abilities better than other classes."


 * You are half right that Assassins should deal with Arcenciel, and Fighters should be ousted by him, but by traditional measures, they should be strong against ADCs and weak to tanks. You should be ashamed that you are trying to pin that a champion class shouldn't combat another class simply out of range inferiority. If you are going play up on his role as an artillery mage, it is best to play it up than letting your imagination go wild and overdo the concept.
 * If the main focus of Rain from the Heavens is supposed to be its healing, then adjustments should be made to remove the damage and focus on the heal. Also, the abilities lack clarity in what RftH does for them, which creates the lack of clarity for the entire kit.
 * "...the main focus of this ability being healing in the first place i could not make it any lower than 60%..." is not a sizable enough argument, since you haven't even offered proper evidence to support your claim.
 * I will offer my tips on making the ability boxes look better, but for now, I'll focus on criticizing the kit.
 * Divine Touch has been Arcenciel's click-n-hit ability to get damage dealth over a duration. Once again though, this becomes an ability that mimics 's, but have exceedingly higher damage (Malz's 80-220 vs Arcenciel's 180-1260 ), duration, AoE damage and cast range, at the cost of cast time and no synergy to the kit unless Rain from the Heavens is active. I don't see "balance" in this ability at all.
 * I do not believe anything has been explained enough for the explosion. Rather you are making me confused.
 * "Outplay." You've said the same thing for Wyre Nilo, and the issue that brought was your stubbornness to grant the champion too many unfair tools. My goal in improving the ability was not to grant the CC and MS, but to better the mechanics around it since it was a very dull ability. Do not misinterpret my intentions and justify it with praise.
 * I'm dismayed by the lack of a response. I've pointed out my criticism, and all I hear from you is (thankfully) positive confirmation, but a void of acknowledgement of what is wrong with the kit. As someone who has seen your other concepts too, this is a persistent problem. I want custom content creators to grow, but as long as you do not recognize the issues and actually learn to work with the criticism, you are placing yourself at a dead end. Me offering you the format or "what the ability would look better with" will not help either.
 * For lore, you describe Arcenciel as the other end of what a Angel can be perceived as: the partial denizen of a perfect utopic dystopia. While they may seem like they maintain the cherubic qualities that makes them graceful, in truth they are no different than a in that they perform these feats not for kindness but as part of their duty. They are hollow puppets. Arcenciel, and his other siblings, though are exceptions as they were not originally heavenly beings. One day, he was deemed obsolete, so in order to make up for strength, he imagined the sniper gun he saw before and made it his weapons...?
 * I understand that you want Arcenciel to be able to accomplish his task, but the plot hole in this entirety is his reason to pick up a sniper rifle. As an Angel, I would expect that he would use other means to mimic the power of the sniper rifle than create the rifle itself. Instead of shooting a bullet, he would send projectiles flying from miles away. Yet, you force Arcenciel to be fixated enough in the idea of the sniper rifle (oh, why not a canon!?)... yes, he may have been a human, but if you set up these angels to be imperfect, why weren't they replaced by the more perfect angels who could perform his deeds better?
 * To add, I can't help but get cartoony vibes from your champions. They are human, yet so distant from reviewers like myself. As a critical reader, distant characters require a lot in order to become believable or interesting characters. In some cases, they can be simply evil and then attract the attention of readers, but if not executed, they are just forced actors on the stage.
 * Do not take the following comment the wrong way, but I believe you have to review the way you construct champion together from their source. I am glad you love Anime and their characters, but the mannerism in which you receive aspiration from them is flimsy. Why? Anime characters, just as much if not more than other fiction, are overdone and at times made to be able to be cool in whatever situation. It doesn't matter if it makes sense, since you as the young watcher are placed in a state of suspended disbelief. But here, it is for the better if these champions hold some depth more than being an "anime-sniper inspired apathetic angel." I won't say much more, but know that you have here someone who is much deeper into Anime, and will not take any comments about Anime, Manga and other items lightly if played around too lightly.

I hope that other people will take a look and review Arcenciel, since there is onyl so much more I will offer. I will dedicate more time, but do not expect it to be me leading you on with my ideas as I've done before.
