Idea to add more shadows to Shadow Assassin Kayn

My idea simply is this. Give more shadows to Kayn. The 2 choices I came up with are either make it so Kayn's Q leaves a shadow either where he casts it from or where he lands (one or the other) and he can cast his W from there. Disclaimer: A second W hit would do partial or possibly no extra damage, but would definitely increase the slow. A second idea is to scrap the Q idea and make it so when Kayn uses or ends his R, a shadow appears and acts exactly like his Q shadow in terms of the w. The only difference is, Kayn will be able to cast Q and the shadow will also dash to his cursor a short distance and slash just like normal Q. Since Kayn's q has no bonus effects besides being a dash, it could do say 50% damage if it ends up hitting a second target. These are just my thoughts, as personally being a Kayn main I feel as if his assassin form is only strong when played into no tanks and barely any cc, so these changes would make him just a bit more viable.

So... turn him into Zed?

In this case he would actually be very different from Zed. Your shadows can not be used to teleport and your Q would move the shadow itself from its position, which Zed is unable to do. Plus though they are different champs they use the same forbidden art in the lore or what not and Zed trained Kayn so the story would back this change up just fine.

Fair enough, I'm on board.

You expect to assassinate tanks as an assassin ?

I don't expect to assassinate tanks, but I do think Kayn could use some tools to help him work around tanks and cc and what not.

He does a high amount of damage, but is easily shut down by cc and strong front lines. Its terribly hard to find a game where you could viably play him
