Yes I know most obvious ninja name

Lore: Kurokage was once part of the Kinkou Order. He was possibly one of the best disciples and was a very possible candidate to be the Eye of Twilight. However this all changed when he discovered his true power, the power of the shadows. At first he thought it would not be a problem. However after showing people what these powers could do they had began to fear and ridicule him. They refused to let him become the Eye of Twilight. Feeling like an outcast and ashamed he left the Kinkou Order in hopes to see where these new found powers would lead him. He soon discovered that like the shadows themselves, Kurokage did not age and was unaffected by time, people passed with time, but he did not. Over many years he has created his own unique art which is know as The Way of the Shadows.

After journeying and training for many years, he finally returned to see what has become of the Kinkou Order, only to find that many ninjas have died in the battle between Zed's order and the Kinkou Order and that now it has become the new training grounds for the art that he created, Zed's new order of the shadow. Feeling responsible for what has happened he vowed to restore the Kinkou Order and do what he was always meant to do, preserve balance and harmony, from the shadows of course.

**Passive ~ One with the Shadows ~ cooldown 15 seconds: ** upon entering a bush Kurokage attains stealth for 1 sec. As long as Kurokage has not been damaged by an enemy champion 2 seconds before or after entering stealth One with the Shadows has no cool down. ~ Shadow Soul ~ Kurokage begins with a unique item called the Shadow Soul. Passively it gives 5 energy regen per second. Later it can be upgraded to give (45 AD + 10% CDR + 10 energy regen), (500 HP + 10% CDR + 10 energy regen), or (50% AS + 10% CDR + 10 energy regen).

Q ~ Shadow Blade ~ Cool down 7 seconds, Cost 75 / 70 / 65 / 60 / 55 energy, range 600

Kurokage strikes all enemies in a cone in front of him, dealing 60/100/140/180/220 + (100% of Bonus AD.) This skill deals only 66% damage to minions and monsters. If an affected unit had 50% or less health half the energy cost is refunded and its cool down is reduced to 0.5 seconds. Affected enemies take 50% reduced damage. The cooldown reduction can only apply every 10 seconds to a target.

**W ~ Shadow Veil ~ Cool down 15 seconds cost 80 / 75 / 70 / 65 / 60 ENERGY, range 450 radius ** Kurokage throws down a veil at his location to cover himself. Upon casting it resets One with Shadow's cooldown and emits a shock-wave that deals 40/80/125/185/225/ (+ 80% AP) magic damage to all surrounding enemies. Afterwards he gains a shield that lasts for 3 seconds. The shield shields for 40/80/125/185/225/ (+ 80% AP). The shield is increased by 20% for each enemy hit that had 50% or less health, which is capped at 100% The veil thrown acts as a bush and will stay in place for 1 second.

**E ~Mark of the Shadows ~ Cool down 14/13/12/11/10 seconds, Cost 45 energy, range 1000 ** Kurokage Throws his keep-sake dagger in a line dealing 35 / 55 / 75 / 95 / 115 (+ 70% Bonus AD) and marking the the 1st enemy hit for 3 seconds. If he successfully hits an enemy Kurokage may reactivate the ability to blink to the marked enemy consuming the mark and dealing 45 / 70 / 95 / 120 / 145 (+ 70% Bonus AD). If the enemy blinked to had 50% or less health the cool down is reduced by 25/35/45/55/70% and half the energy cost is refunded. If the dagger collides with terrain the dagger will remain there until he reactivates it causing him to blink to its location, activates his unique item which will return his dagger to him putting the ability on cooldown, or he dies. (NOTE: while the dagger remains on terrain he does not get the passive energy regen or CDR)

And of course, The ultimate

**R- Gate to the Shadows ~ Cool down 140/120/100 seconds, Cost 0, ** Kurokage channels for 1.5 seconds and teleports to target location within a bush or within the jungle. If he kills an enemy champion with in 5/6/7 seconds upon arriving he may cast Gate to the Shadows again for another 15 seconds. The gate is not visible to enemy champions unless there is vision near the gate.

Hmm so he is kind of like Zed's except this guy is a good guy.

The kit is very similar to Akali mixed with Zed and the damage here is kind of insane. I have a few questions and observations.

For the Q is the .5 second cool down only once or is there no limit to how many times he reduces its cool down? Like can he just spam Q over and over again to opponents below 50% health? I would recommend removing the bonus damage on the auto attack, it looks like it was stuck on for no reason. Also 4 seconds is kind of low for an ability that can be reduced to .5 seconds.

The W is just... way too overloaded. It makes him invisible, deals damage, removes slows, shields him, and gives him a movement speed steroid. It is way to similar to Akali's Twilight Shroud but way way way better. The shield gains more shield depending on the amount of enemies hit below 50% by the shockwave right? Not just whenever he hits enemies with any ability that are below 50% while the shield is up?

The E is like Lee Sins Sonic Wave/Resonating Strike but can stick to terrain?

The ult seems kind of out of place on this kit.

I think you wanted to make him into a ninja so you used the abilities of the other ninjas as templates, which is totally fine, but you could definitely have deviated a bit more to make him more unique, rather then just having various abilities from other champions.

Overall I think thematically he should be more different from zed. I mean we already have 4 ninjas,so it'd be hard for a 5th ninja to stick out,but he even has shadow powers like zed,making him basically "zed with different abilities and he's a good guy now".

I think his story is also a bit weird,I mean he suddenly develops shadow powers out of nowhere and becomes immortal?Not to mention that there doesn't seem to be a connection between him and the box with the shadows,which sounds like a big coincidence that he just happens to be another ninja with shadow powers.

The ult concept is really good actually, however it'd be difficult to get resets in a mid-lane team fight for example. Perhaps there should be more options to where he can ult, and/or extended time for the reset.

I think his e, which is basically an empowered alkali ultimate, should either have drastically reduced damage (if any at all), and should have a higher cool down.

1.0AD scaling on the Q is a bit much. End game, you can be dealing 600+ damage every 4 seconds in an AOE. That's like a fizz ultimate every 4 seconds. No, lower that.
