Shadow Ninja inc!

  • Hey guys,

    So we’re going to be doing a big reveal on this stuff soon, but I wanted to give you a quick gameplay peek of the next champion – the Shadow Ninja.

    We’ve worked hard to make a cool gameplay loop that is really ninja-y and lets you be pretty clever. Let me run you through it real fast;

    • He can make a stationary shadow of himself that then copies his skills when used. For example, you can throw a skillshot shuriken and he’ll also throw one. If they both hit, then you hit with two!
    • He can swap places with his shadow to be elusive, set up ganks, or dodge skillshots
    • All his skills can double hit!
    • Yes, he uses energy

    Shadow Ninja’s gameplay isn’t about deceptive clones, but instead copying himself to extend and increase his power or mobility. And since his moves deal with areas or skillshots, setting up the right positioning to double-hit and maximize your damage is really important.

    OK theorycrafters…all yours!

    • We already have ninjas.
    • We already have a champion that makes clones of himself and is slippery.
    • We already have a champion that can swap places with another.
    • We already have a champion that throws shurikens (and it's a skill shot to boot!).
    • We already have a champion that has a secondary point of origin for abilities.
    • We already have champions that use energy.

    So in closing, wtf is with this clone of ShenAkaliWukongUrgotKennenLulu!

    /disappoint

    I will, let's stop derailing the thread. Because another issue exists doesn't mean it's my only and top number one priority in the universe to talk about
