Shadow Kayn (Quality of Life Ideas)

Shadow Kayn is decent but even if ahead and played right there is one thing that just doesn't feel right. His Q it's so short and the stop for animation at the end can literally get you killed.

Please consider increasing the range and allowing the shadow to finish the move. This alone will smooth out the Shadow Form's Kit, no more clunkiness. As well as give Shadow Kayn a decent chance of escaping an assassination. Something Riot has stated to give assassin's in the assassin update, Kayn already a slower burst window, can easily be killed when going through walls trying to escape, Ghost blade and flash just doesn't do enough. all while other assassin's like Le Blanc, Zed, Talon have so much more mobility and burst dmg. But kayn doesn't need more dmg, just this one change to Shadow form's Q.

On a wilder note.... This change would be fun to see. If you get a kill with Shadow Kayn's Ultimate, it will refresh all you're cooldowns including the ultimate. This would actually give him a decent team fight, that is if you can calculate with high skills. I know what you're thinking, but we already have champs that can 1v5 late game, (Vayne, Katarina, Jax, Master Yi, Yasuo, Brand) and Riot is even buffing one. Nasus.

Ult refresh would actually be interesting and make his assasin form unique compared to other assasins, but I gues people would rage about it, because without proper cordination kayn would keep going untargetable in teamfights. Perhaps a partial refresh like lux ulti would be more healthy. The changes Id like to see is the q change you spoke about, or something like if Kayn gets a kill shadow steps cooldown is refreshed, that would make him a lot more mobile then his rhaast counterpart.
