The inspiration behind this champion was to make a champion that tied into Yasuo's lore. Yasuo was a brilliant swordsman at the Ionian academy. He failed to protect the Elder during the Noxus invasion and was subsequently charged with treason and summarily executed. But Yasuo escaped and after slaying Yone his brother he became a wanderer seeking out the assassin that had besmirched his name. [Champion] is the son of the Elder that was murdered because of Yasuo's hubris. Only hearing the verdict that Yasuo was indeed the murderer [Champion] went to the Ionian academy to become as great a swordsman as Yasuo. There [Champion] met Yone, Yasuo's brother and they both swore to find Yasuo and bring him to justice. But after Yone was slain [Champion] fell into a great rage and left before he completed his training to hunt down Yasuo. And after trailing behind Yasuo for many years [Champion] finally met him on a cliff overlooking a deep valley. Yasuo tried to reason with him, but the rage and anger over his father and friend's death would not allow [Champion]to hear Yasuo's words. As they both drew their swords and fought, Yasuo came out the victor. But Yasuo did not kill him, only wounded him and made his escape. After [Champion] got up he swore that he would bring not only Yasuo but all murderers without honour to justice.
His kit is purposely similar to Yasuo's. He is a high mobility assassin that scales off of Attack Speed and has a lot of ways to move around in a fight and in lane. With his overwhelming mobility that rivals almost any champion currently designed I decided to basically make sure he didn't have a high amount of damage or high defensive capabilities. He also does not have a resource similar to Riven. His damaging abilities scale off of AD and he benefits from CDR.
In lane he can use his Q for farming or for harass and combo it up with his E to stick to his targets. For team fights he excels at stopping the enemy from running away with his R and then follow up with his E. He works well with any CC heavy or AOE team although he can also be very scary with a team of assassins as his R can CC enemy champions long enough for them to do massive amounts of damage. His kit allows him to also split push and duel fairly effectively. Using his E effectively can allow him to dodge skillshots and/or escape.
Item builds: [Champion] has a very strong synergy with MS and AS. His passive and W passive allow him to be more mobile and boosts his dueling capabilities. Items that give him AS or MS are definitely welcome but because of his scaling passives [Champion] also needs to have some AD such as Bloodthirster or Blade of the Ruined King. Having some CDR also helps [Champion] use his abilities more often. Zephyr, Triforce, Statik Shiv, Bloodthirster, Blade of the Ruined King, Youmuu's Ghostblade, Black Cleaver, Lucidity Boots

Anyways I hope you guys read it and can give me some feedback. I just thought it might be interesting to design someone also bent on revenge since Kalista's lore is somewhat similar. Also suggest a name? I couldn't think of a good one yet. And i kind of gave up on quotes for now. I'm not good at coming up with one liners.
