Yeah, you may be right, but take into account his incredibly weak early game, Shairvante has absolutely no sustain and is very vulnerable to everything. Denying him early completely stops him from doing any source of damage late game, which is his best pro. He DOES deal a lot of damage, if you let him get ahead. If you don't, he steal deals some, but is very, very squishy, meaning some CC deletes him instantly if the enemy has an assassin or some kind of burst. The tenacity he gains from the ult can be stacked if Shairvante uses it consecutevily, but it has a short duration, and he needs to auto-attack at least 6 times (or critically strike twice with auto-attack since spells reduce their own cooldown, which isn't always possible CONSIDERING you denied him early) to reset the cooldown of his R. He also deals a total of 100 damage with all of his spells combined early game, meaning trades are always won against him. He's similar to Akali, but more monstrous snowballing. Thanks for reading my custom champ anyway :)

P.S. The five scalings on ult is a mistake of mine, ill fix that.
