Akali and Zed are the only two who feel like actual ninjas.
Kennen and Shen don't feel anything like ninjas. Also why is Lee Sin apart of the energy champions which is supposedly only a ninja thing as they're the only ones other than lee sin who have it.
Zero Shingetsu3 votesI agree. They should be used for recon and eavesdropping, primarily. The way I'd do it is to give Akali the ability to listen in on an enemy's team chat when she's near an enemy champion.

wrong game "cough cough" wolfenstain. covert ops.
macspam2 votesI think they should also change marksman autos to be skillshots with an ammo system like a FPS
Jamaree1 votesTo be fair, if we were going for accurate ninjas, Zed wouldn't be using shurikens at all for combat, they were distraction tools and used more for attacking when unaware. They would also do very little damage and instead apply a long lasting VERY slow but debilitating DoT. also his claw blades wouldn't be anywhere near that long...or a thing at all now that I think about it. Ninjas never had an over the knuckle claw weapon, they did have underhand claw weapons used to block smaller blades and climb walls though, if anything, Talon is more of a ninja then them.
Though Akali is far more ninja like, even going as far to have the proper frame, height, and size for ninjas, a toolbag, though she wouldn't just be spraying and praying with her kunai, hell, actual kunai weren't even used for weaponry unless they were an absolute last resort and instead used more for again, climbing walls, digging, and general utility rather then weaponry. Her kama is ninja like though, as is using a shroud to dance around a battlefield.
You know who is surprisingly ninja like besides attire and attitude, Caitlyn. Even though Hollywood skips over it, Ninjas were notorious for using rifles, incredibly efficient long range killing weapons that were lightweight and easy to carry, yes please, setting up traps to lure people into position, using tools more for escape rather then engage, and one shot kill hits. Like the moment guns became more common practice, ninjas leapt on that shit, and when Ieyasu became shogun, he took his ninjas and trained them to be a police like force to protect him known as the Hyakuningumi.
Edit: I was wrong, they did have an overhand claw weapon called the Tekko-Kagi, but they were more used for defense against blades, and also as a last resort, basically the fact that any of them are even being in melee range of their opponents kind of means that are all shit ninjas.

Fair enough, though I just always find the "need to be more like ninja!!!" thing so funny because of just how inaccurate the ninja in this game are and most media for that fact are to real ninja. CAITLYN, the fucking dress wearing, british sounding, gun toting police chief is more ninja...then 99% of ninja portrayed in most media.
