Due to how recent champions, if not most League champions, have had cohesive kits with a proper theme. I personally also am able to judge a custom champion better if their theme has a clear goal. If you find that it's hard to come up with a background, I would recommend an explanation (such as in bullet points) of your idea than a summarized backstory that may misrepresent your projected goal.

A Skirmisher though is an Assassin. Now Slayers, I was referring to the old term for the class of high-mobility, single-target melee champions. I apologize for using the antique term. Consider that every one of my use of "Assassin" was meant to be "Slayer," and hopefully it makes it clear what I am trying to say when criticizing the kit. Admittedly, I was looking at Hir;q more as "all-burst," but even as a Skirmisher-Skirmisher, Hir'q just feels like a overly round-about melee fighter.

Important nitbits such as hitboxes should be explained in the ability description, then further described in the ability details. With how Q is set up, there is no information of what shape, what timing or when the slashes occur. What happens if I said that hit one of his abilities in front of him? Is it a cone? Or is it a rectangle? Or maybe it's a unique circle... we can't read your mind, creator v.v

Then please tell me what was the intent behind the CD reset on Q? I'm well aware that it's not an easy CD reset to attain, but skilled players can abuse it somehow, dashing in an Q, knowing that they will not get hurt. It can be easily used against someone who is trying to peel, as it can technically be used three times upon an AoE: example, puts down his sticky pool, and you can dash in (reset), dash out (reset), and dash once more. The dash in and out both gave a CD reset.

In numbers it may be powerful enough, but that's 700-1000 damage over 12 seconds. Also, "underwhelming" was aimed at a question I ask for every ult: Does this ultimate ability give a feeling of "this is game-changing or iconic to the champion?" As for this ultimate... it's plain.
