Deadeye is NOT a champion name

ChaosCode··2 votes·1,332 views

Deadeye is most likely not the name of the new champion, the dictionary definition of deadeye is as follows

dead·eye (dĕd′ī′) n.

  1. Nautical A flat hardwood disk with a grooved perimeter, pierced by three holes through which the lanyards are passed, used to fasten the shrouds.
  2. Slang An expert shooter: a deadeye with the rifle.

The second definition labels a deadeye as a sniper, sharp shooter, or expert. On an old forums post in 2012 a post was made about a ranged assassin named deadeye. The riot creative team would not just make the name "deadeye" so Jhin must be the name of the champion. The new ad assassins item seems to be coming out STRANGELY close to this new champion right. The champion would not be a Shen rework. All the relations between these champions are on this board page. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/oZpANOxT-deadeye-champion-relations?comment=00000002 ADC JHIN COIMFERMED

  1. To rend or tear apart.
  2. To break into pieces, as by a blow; cleave or split asunder.
  3. To break or distress (the spirit, for example).

Still a champion name.

The new AD assassin item will be melee only btw... so, if he is ranged, he won't be able to use it... buhuhu...

ACTUALLY the item is not clearly stated if it will be melee only, riot did say that if it is too overpowered it will be changed for only melee, but it is not confirmed

That evaluation will be before it goes live... so... chances are, it will go live as melee only.

That's what you would think, but it's Rito, so... chances are, it will go live as ranged allowed.

The best argument so far. This is rito... You never know with those guys

This is the quote from riot

As for if this item ends up being too powerful on ranked marksman, Axes added: "Quote: First thing that comes to mind is, what's "What's stopping adc's from getting this item?" Most adc's can do enough burst to make use of the nightfall passive and the rest of the stats work great on them. The more castery adc's (Lucian, graves) will like the massive amount of ad it gives as well. If it's a problem on ADCs, it'll be Melee Only. he continued: "Quote: Can it please start as melee only? Sorry about being unclear. If we think that it will be a problem on ADCs - and we are vetting this pretty extensively - it will be melee only when it ships."

It's possible deadeye will be part of the Shen rework, or just a lore update. Because Shen is called the EYE of Twilight. Also I noticed something weird when I played Shen a bit earlier, he said "target, locked"....
