All in all, I think he's actually rather interesting, if a little linear in playstyle. I can tell you're supposed to use Q, W, E, then ult all in succession, which produces a visually cool combo. Apart from that, there's nothing amazingly unique about his kit, although he has some rather uncommon mechanics in the dual wielding and his Backflip. Which isn't saying he's a bad champion, just that he does things that are generally accepted as being good. He has a fair amount of AoE damage, which is common for assassins, given that Katarina, Talon, and several others have primarily AoE spells. This means he has good teamfight potential, but the lack of CC puts him more closely in the ballpark of Katarina, which means if he gets shut down, it's hard for him to make a difference in fights. You've done a fair job of counteracting that with the passive attack speed, and the fact that he gains this attack speed actually means he can be built as a full assassin, similar to Talon, or as a bruiser, similar to Skarner, where you build tanky then a Bork and possibly Ravenous Hydra so that you have the ability to deal damage without the need for AD. I always enjoy champs that can be built in several different ways, so I really like that. Of course, going bruiser would still be a rather odd build, since you're sacrificing the ability to almost certainly delete someone for the ability to possibly kill several people. Although the fact that he has the gap closers means he definitely has the sticking power to pull it off. He's actually a fairly well done champion.
