Why such a low range? He doesn't have real steroids either way so it would kind of be the only advantage for auto attacks that he would have. ;) As for the damage reduction, you're right, I could really lower it a bit.

Hmm, I don't think the innate should have any self-scaling, any self-scaling true damage (Cho'Gath, Corki, Ahri) sort of gets out of hand in late game. :P

How is it lacking? Do you mean the self debuff or something else?

Yep, he would be an AD caster carry. :) Somewhat like Urgot and partly Varus, yes.
