So, right off the bat, Riot does not crowdsource or outsource champion concepts. Ultimately, if you're not making your champion idea for your own entertainment, there isn't too much of a reason to. I know that sucks to hear, but it's the truth.

Secondly, a cyborg ninja -- let along one that's pulled from another franchise -- is not something that seems like a good fit for League. While both cyborgs and ninja have a place in League, combining the two seems a bit odd, as it's a Zaun/Ionia hybrid that feels somewhat out of sorts with the world.

Finally, while I could give you a full kit breakdown, I feel this kit suffers a lot from two common issues I see frequently. First off is virtually mirroring another character from another game (Genji, in this case) almost perfectly, and second is a tendency to use added movement or passive stat boosts in place of interesting or engaging gameplay. Aside from the Q, this character is extremely straightforward and stat-checky, yet also manages to be extremely frustrating due to virtually non-stop mobility.

Gods have spoken. and it's meant to be out of the ordinary, He has an unknown origin/story. What more creative could you want?

{quoted}and it's meant to be out of the ordinary, He has an unknown origin/story.

The problem with "out of the ordinary" is that there are ways that's great, and ways it isn't great. A sentient sink with a slingshot is out of the ordinary, but I think we both agree it's a bad fit for League. If you want to sell a cyborg ninja, I'd want to see a good origin/story that convinces me that it fits into the League world, rather than just throwing it in willy-nilly.

What more creative could you want?

If you're legitimately asking the question, I'd want two main things:

A unique character with a better defined story, as story/character are what players love, and this feels like "mysterious cyborg who is basically Genji and has a name/theme from Metal Gear." I'd much rather see a character who stands on his/her own as a unique addition to the League world.
A kit that relies less on easily-accessible mobility and stat-boosts in favor of more interesting interactions or mechanics that are bigger tests of player skill. Your Q here is interesting -- a skillshot with an optional blink is cool, and requires decision-making. The rest is all fire-and-forget abilities that just give a lot of power and/or mobility without a lot of thought or interesting interactions with either the rest of the kit OR with the enemy play patterns.

See if you're really getting to know me... This is where i lack and need medicine for. It's called Psychosis and a brainfog. (which clouds my creativity). I wish i could answer this any other way but you got me beat here. My goal was to make a Yasuo/Kayn like champ btw.

Not only is it a gross memepost but that stuff belongs to Konami.

Look at Overwatch with Genji. If they can have a Cyborg Ninja and Metal Gear can make one. Why not make one for League? He would have afterimages(which would be new) and teleports like Kassadin. I'm not saying make the same character but one just kinda like Kayn but you know a op cyborg.

One cyborg ninja is different from another cyborg ninja (by the way, Gray Fox wasn't a cyborg, his suit was actually an exoskeleton)

Ok, Someone of similar character. They haven't made my idea of "op" and i'm making a request, just gotta evolve and improve my idea.

How? You don't. In fact, Riot specifically avoids looking at champ concepts, so that they stay far away from the mess of figuring out who owns those concepts.

Mr VoidlingJan 2, 20192 votes

If the concept had something that added a new mechanic then maybe, but so far it's only kinda half his Q and that doesn't add enough to make him feel like his own unique champion.

Rito is working toward making all their "brain-dead" champions, like Warwick used to be, into more interesting unique champions. So they would not opt to add in a champion who doesn't add versatility into the League. Let alone a champion specifically designed to mirror another character.

Just because they don't have something isn't a reason for them to add it. League also doesn't have a worm champion, and League shouldn't have a worm. Well... Potentially a weird worm thing... Maybe... Hold that thought.
