You realise that it's only 10 seconds for full charge? He does his current soul count on each hit, and he begins charging during the wind-up of each attack (generating approximately 1/10th of ([0-200%] between attacks. I easily have 60 souls by level 9, so that ~60 (+20% AD) on each hit as bonus damage. He has an initiation and CC, and is safe from ganks. He has a psychological advantage in lane similar to AD Kennen and Ashe - wherein most enemy-ADs are composed enough to worry about Carry-CC (their only prepared against Support-CC).



They blamed their jungler for not ganking, but ours didn't gank either - and their jungler wasn't the reason I was 2-0-3 before 5 minutes (my support accidentally took 3 last hits, but it's still 5 kills bot). Yes, it's a lot of magic damage - but who cares what the damage type is when I scale with AD?

He's NOT squishy early game. He has ABOVE AVERAGE base-armor, and he is always ABOVE the enemy carry (except for or against a Taric lane). It only takes 60-90 souls by level 18 to have the same base armor as every other champion - and, as I said, I easily have 60 by level 9.
