Better to be utterly honest, right?

Thanks for the criticism, plus I'm new to the wiki so I'm a bit confused about this "template" you're talking about.

I can see some great points you're making out, one of which is the complaint of the amount of dmg reduction this guy can have. My mindset at the time was that the theme of this champion was on the use of his souls, most of the time these souls would be expended before the dmg reduction would be of any use. So in order to make use of the dmg reduction, I had to find a medium to make use of it as much as possible which is on how fast you can regain your stacks and the overall high quantity of reduction in his possession.

Another reason is that he's not designed to be bulky and able to soak up dmg in a clash, he's designed to be an assassin and survive. In order to do that, he must make use of the dmg reduction before he expends his souls.

Even though I'm the creator, I do agree he does deal an unbelievable amount of burst. But you must also think that his skills are in conjunction with the stacking of souls, half of your damage would be cut if you weren't able to stack them on an enemy. And this requires AS which in his skillset he doesn't possess.

The speed on his W is a bit scary, I'll tone it down a bit.

The last argument you're pointing out is the amount of pulls he possess. My reason is that his ultimate is entirely dependent on the stacks(2) an enemy must be affected for the pull to work, And in order to do that, you must get in close and do 2 AA before the enemy can react which is almost a death sentence in a clash. Plus the Ultimate is useless even with its slow without the pull.

Last of all, thanks for pointing out my spelling mistake. I knew there was something wrong with the title.
