I think your oddball costing (which, by the way, is an interesting idea) is a little off. The ability costs seem unduly high, especially as compared to your income boost. Granted, I'm not a fan of math-ing things like this out, so I really don't know, but that seems to be the case. I mean, heck, I love running two gp10 items on a support whose build includes 7.25 additional gp10 in runes and masteries, and I really don't think that that gives me even approaching enough gold to run this guy well.

Honestly, I'm tempting to run this guy as a right-click ADC, using his ridiculous income to buy ridiculous items. Then, in the late game, only then might I activate any ability aside from Dash, as by that point my gold income should be great enough to sustain me through combat.

Also, I think Assassin-for-hire works better than just Assassin simply because of the gold theme. If you want something else, try "Sellsword" or "[Descriptor] Mercenary."
