As a new player I read all the tooltips and wandered onto this page. tenacity reduces most crowd control effects. 25% is a major buff and if he gets 4 kills this champion would be immune to all cc thrown at him so I think if you remove that buff from his passive. Otherwise, I like the idea but it's kinda confusing to have him have a gun as well as a sword. What if you had him throw his sword instead of that gun. Great Idea but needs a lot of rework so he's not completely OverPowered in this current meta.

Yes I can see and understand so I removed the tenacity and lowered the passive gains.And I can see that it would be confusing to give him a gun so I will take your idea about his sword instead.

Having the gun isnt a problem (look at gangplank) its just how you put the gun into the design of the character, aye taking out the gun gets rid of the problem, however, a cooler way of fixing the problem is incorporating it in a new unique way, such as making his weapon similar to the Hextech GunBlade. Combining the gun with the blade, maybe making the gun inside the blade have only a single shot, explaining the long cooldown on the ability as him reloading the gun.

I think theres a big problem if you have a +25% tenacity boost per kill. Like, the 25% already is incredibly powerful and can only be beaten by Irelias passive. However in just two kills Reux would pass Irelia in tenacity, and getting max stacks (10) would mean 250% tenacity bonus? Which would mean absolutely no form of CC works on them, regardless of the champions abilities or scaling, Reux would be the most overpowered champion in league of legends history, just with his passive. Not counting the rest of the character design. (You may have meant that she had maximum tenacity bonus of 25%, but such a small thing left out is a big loophole and lead me to discredit and view the rest of the article in a poor light, please review and clarify if it was a mistake, and if it wasnt, well, I guess thats what forum reviewers are for.

There is no clear focus as to what idea the character represents, as well as the terms fighter and assassin contradict themself, as a fighter is supposed to be a balance of offense and defense whereas an assassin is supposed to have very little defense and humongous offense (which in itself is contradicted by his passive which gives him HUGE defensive boosts) Seeing however that your recommended items are mostly defensive I can assume you meant for the champion to be a fighter over assassin, meaning changes to his W,E, and probably R are needed. All three abilities either copy another champion or go with the assassin feel of a character.

Try to find the idea and feel of the character that youre trying to capture.

Also, I recommend to stop pursuing the character, his abilities, or dialogue if you cannot tie it in in a non-offensive way (Aimed specifically at his "God is dead!" dialogue, it is fine if you add a name of a fictional deity that Reux is tied to, however the term God with a capital G is tied to multiple religions and has potential to lead to big problems both inside and outside the League Of Legends community.)

Oh wait I put 25, I meant to put 5. But I can see it that it could be a huge threat towards Irelia so I think i shall remove it. His abilities are not final and still processing some better and fitting ones. His lore is also in development and I due tend to change his ties with his enemy. Thank you for the critique.

I look forward to seeing him fleshed out and improved, sorry if the review seemed harsh at all. Glad to help any way I can.

P.S. The bonus Tenacity isnt bad, however, it should be a lower scale, I say 2 - 2.5 % per stack) However to fully balance him throughout with his passive I suggest making the limit 20 stacks, having kills count as 2 stacks, assists count as 1, and take all of your passive values and halve them per stack. That way he doesnt scale only with kills.

Reux gains +1.25% tenacity, +2.5 attack damage, +1.5 armor, +1.5 magic resist, +5 movement speed every time he gets a stack of Liberator, killing an enemy champion grants 2 stacks and getting an assist grants 1 stack (stacks up to max of 20 stacks.)

P.P.S Sorry Just realized he gets +50 attack damage and +100 movement at max stacks, doesnt feed well into his fighter feel. Would recommend lowering value to +1.75 AD per stack and +1.5 movement speed per stack.
