This champion has too much passives. A champion is normally allowed to have at max 2 passives (not including innate). And even so, those 2 passives aren't activated (i.e., , etc.). The E passive is useless lategame, as you would be selling your for some useful item.

The gold gain on his Q is a bit much, IMO. Even and  have cooldowns and have to kill a unit. With enough attack speed, you can gain 2.5 gold per second.

About his W, how long does the augment of his defenses last after blocking an ability?

How much attack range does R give? 25/35/45 ""? Really? That won't even notice in-game.
