Uh... who would build trinity on him anyway? All of his abilities have a 10+ second cooldown, so its not for the sheen procs, and he wastes the mana and AP stats since he has no mana or ap ratios. Further, since all of his abilities scale off of bonus AD, and with RIDICULOUS ratios at that, his "crappy" base stats make little difference.

The playstyle is alright, but Stealth is inherently frustrating for all other players but the one using it. And even then, once someone buys an oracles, this guy is basically Evelynn in that he has no gap closer and will be focused down in an instant. I really just don't see this guy promoting any form of "fun" play for anyone in the game.

I like the "choose what to open with" playstyle, but his ratios are so absurd that its a complete wash. You'll obliterate them regardless of what you open with (which is pretty much always going to be the fear). Also all of these abilities are very similar to other champs, to the point that they feel just stapled together.

His Q is basically nocturne's passive in a far stronger active form. His W reads almost identically to nocturne's Shroud of Darkness until you realize instead of a spellshield its a Garen/Urgot love child shield. His E is just a mechanically unremarkable nuke, that nukes harder when you break stealth with it. His ult's first active is a relatively weak temporary AD steroid (though it does increase all of his active abilities' damage by that amount or almost double that.) The second active is nocturne's ult, albeit with a clunky, nigh-impossible-to-include microphone mute. You fail to really have something unique with this champion here.

If you really are dead set on this "stealth jump out and kill you" assassin champ, think of a more interesting mechanic to base him around instead of rehashing abilities into almost gamebreaking forms.
