Order of Shadows: Champion?

Alright, so Zed is easily one of my favorite characters of League of Legends. More or less my One Trick Champ. But, I play a lot of the ninjas. I like Shen, I love Kennen, not too sure how I feel about Akali anymore; but I am going off on a bit of a tangent- to which I apologize.

Now I quite enjoy reading into the lores and knowing what characters are about, where they're from, who they like or dislike, and etc. Naturally I know Zeds. I've also mauled this idea over in my head several times because I did know the lore, but that has also been awhile. I didn't start thinking about it again up until Dave C released his **Lore of Legends video featuring Zed. **

It states in Zed's; "Humiliated, the young ninja wandered for years. His bitterness turned to ambition, and he began to train others in the style of the shadows. As his power grew, so did his circle of followers, but he knew that without the box, his technique would never be perfect. "

Is it possible that we will see another playable member of the Order of the Shadows at some point? And Is it something that has been discussed by the Riot team at any point that I might have missed? Will we ever see an ADC Ninja? And can we achieve the dream that is to have a full 5 man team of ninjas?

+Additionally it states that the technique could never be perfected. So it is possible a champion along these lines could bring a variant of the shadow technique along with his own splice of goodies and techniques along for the ride. Obviously no student is going to be exactly like their master.

Hey :D You actually inspired me with this post!!! I am a champion concept creator (Maybe you've seen some of my work in the CCOS, maybe you haven't) and I've been walking around with a concept for a shadow-like ability with no good idea of where to really put it. But you mentioning the shadow order got me thinking on it again and I'm working on the concept as I type this :D I was thinking of a disciple of Zed's, maybe one of the first people he took in. He'd have the ability to blend in with other people's shadows (and yes thats part of his ability in game as well). I'm not entirely sure where I'll be going with the lore just yet...I might have him split off from Zed somewhere down the line....

Since you kinda came up with the idea, are there other things you'd like to see in such a champion? :)

I have thought of this idea before and i like it. Maybe someone who can actually move his shadows, or someone who was trapped in the box, like a shadow genie. I like the idea though.
