Duplexuss: The Shattered Warrior
Reasoning: Duplexuss is an AD Fighter/ Assassin Who can duel exceedingly well but can't suffers from a lack of mobility and can be ganked easily.
Playing: When playing Duplexuss you need to play smart with your clones as you will be more squishy when they are active. You can also use your clone to bait out enemies since they have their own thinking when you aren't ordering them around and are more convincing than your typical clone. Even if you die your clone will keep going until its timer runs out, meaning you could pick up a kill while you are dead, or even get some extra gold from farming you can also cast spells using the clone while dead if you know how to aim it.
Works Well With: Janna, Shen, and Trundle
Countering: you have three options during your laning phase, get help from your jungler and see if he can camp lane to dumb down the aggression, play safe until late, or use a strong early lane advantage to push him back. If you find yourself having trouble dealing with him in lane and he gets ult, leave, help another lane get fed, and come back with your fed buddies while he is alone. Also, his clones decrease his health in trade for more damage potential, remember that to help set up ganks and coordinate team fights.
Counter Options: Darius, Annie, and Caitlyn
Backstory: I looked upon the army from all sides. The enemy was shocked, but so was I. I was part of a Demacian Scouting Team, one of the best they had. My name is Duplexuss, or well codename, when we joined we had to give up our old names and our family’s, that way we could truly serve Demacia. I got my codename from my ability to appear as if I was in two places at once. This impressed the officers enough that they got me to join the group, at least a dozen missions later we got the job of espionage. Yah I know it doesn't sound very Demacian but the truth is that it really does take bravery and honor to do what we do. The job was that we were to go behind enemy lines and find some artifact that the Noxians were investigating. I went in their base of operations while the team made a distraction. I learned that this was run by the infamous Sinister Blade; Katarina. She was looking for a sword of great power that is said to be here. Their operations have not been successful, and many of them fear the wrath of this places mysterious guardian. I decide to go deeper in the caves and find a small crevice that I can barely crawl through.Looks like I found what they were after, as I reach the end I find a sword made of a chromatic material that was harder than steel and laid in a polished stone with two stone scorpion statues that had crystal tips. We needed to get this thing away from the Noxians before they ended up having to take out some guards to gain access. The good news was that they have yet to find it. As I went to grab it I noticed that one of the reflections showed a small curve in one of the stones that could be grabbed. I naturally grabbed and pulled on it, and the whole structure fell apart leaving only the sword standing in the air. It then fell to the ground, revealing my position. Noxian battle cries and the rumbling of the wall reminded me about the mining equipment they had. The wall smashed down as they began to charge at me. At first I could have held them off, but as more came I knew I was going to get overrun if I didn’t do something. So I grabbed the sword, putting us where we are at the beginning. I quickly found that the other me’s had a small amount of intelligence. With this I charged in with me behind myself, really weird when read allowed. We won the battle but a large vicious screech forced silence in the room and we were set upon by a giant stone and crystal made scorpion that began tear through scores of soldiers so I took the initiative and ran. We (The scouting team, I learned how to unshatter myself) are returning to base with the acquired knowledge. I am also honored with your offer to have me become one of your commanders my Prince and most humbly accept your offer. Report of Scout Commander Duplexuss

After he gains 5 stacks, his next spell he casts will consume all of the stacks and summon a mirror image that will use the same spell, targeting the closest target available (prioritises Enemy Champions) and then dissipates. Your clones proc off a separate set of stacks, so don’t worry about them stealing it from you. If the mirror image kills the target it will refund half of the mana cost, slain Champions will also reset its cooldown.

Whenever you cast a spell your clone will also cast the spell at the nearest target or towards the direction you fired your ability but will only deal 40%/50%/55%/60%/65% of the damage you deal. If at least one of the clones survives they will all return to you healing for 5%/10%/15%/25%/30% of your Max health per living clone and you will return to your max health percentage (Ex: if you’re at 50% health after you heal and your current health is 200/400, you will still be at 50% health but your current health will be 400/800). using Ctrl and right clicking an area or target will make all active clones move to that area and attack the targets, but will move on their own after the order is complete Cost: None, Cooldown: 20 seconds
