I designed Youmuu as a mobile meele assassin, The ghostblade concept is assimilated within the character under the form a a sword appearing at his will, a sword wich doesn't physically wound the enemy but it harms the person's soul, thus the person dies. So there you go!

PS: Constructive criticism, ideas and suggestions are welcome. The bad criticism and downvotes will be ignored but please mention the reason you decided to downvote.

> LORE:

>_ If you ever step on Ionian lands, the rumors will definitely reach to your ears, the rumors about a swordsman so fast, so deadly that he defeated an entire legion faster than you could blink. The name of that swordsman is Youmuu. Some say he drank the blood of an oni, others that he made a pact with the dark one himself. No one knows his past, his secrets, neither his purpose. Some claim that they saw him, and lived to tell the story. They say he had no sword, quite odd for a so-called swordsman. They also say he draw the sword from thin air, a sword that pass trough armors and shields like the never existed, a sword that doesn’t cut trough flesh but trough the soul, directly. A sword that could kill every man, beast, or even the horrors beyond this world without a trace. If you ever see a man whose hair is snow white, yet his youth radiates, along with a strange chill in the air… don’t run, he will most likely get you anyway. Leaving no trace at all…_

Appearance

Youmuu would look pretty much like in the picture above. His animations would consist in Flashy movements, Basic attack would leave a faded trail behind the sword,

Background

Birthplace: Ionia Ageless

Friends: none ( he's more of a "lone wolf" archetype ) Rivals: Yasuo, Master Yi

Interaction: ( to Yasuo) All that awaits you is somber morrow, no matter where the winds may blow. ( FFVII reference :p ) (to Yi) Meditating isn't good for you, my friend... you'r soul lightens... makes it easyer for me to cut trough it

Joke: Do you know how hard is to sharpen a ghostblade !? I don't know either... mine's always sharp
Taunt: Please run, it's too easy to take you down from here. Taunt ( to undead/ shadow isles / void-ish ): You have no soul!? no problem, we'll do the thing in the old fashion way

Gameplay

Due to his role,Youmuu, an Assassin / Fighter would easily find its place on mid or top lanes. His laning phase would revolve around aggressive playstyle, hard punishment, harass and eventually going in for the kill in the moment you find your enemy vulnerable.

As Youmuu, you would want to build ... item 3142... and high damage items like item 3031 that will enhance his passive or item 3074 /item 3072 wich will provide sustain.

Youmuu's kit provides the 3 key elements to an assassin:

  1. A gap closer,
  2. Means of dealing high damage
  3. possibility to escape.

The Ultimate is the core of his kit, providing a strong assassination tool.

Base stats:

> Health: 570.8 (+85 per level) > Energy: 200 > Attack Damage: 61 (+3.2 per level) > Attack Speed :0.651 (+3% per level) > Movement Speed: 350 > Health Regen: 7.425 (+0.7 per level) > Energy Regen: 50 > Armor: 24.216 (+3.7 per level) > Magic Resist: 32.1 (+1.25 per level)

SKILLS:

**Passive: Ghostblade Iaido ** > Youmuu gains ( 12 + 1 per level ) armor penetration. Every third attack will critically strike but will only deal 150% damage.

Q: Soul Reaver > COST: 25 energy > Cooldown: 3 seconds > Range: 600

Skillshot basic attack, Youmuu dashes foward with his sword dealing ( 75/100/125/150/175+100% AD) physical damage, applys on hit effects , it can critically stike, interacting with the passive.

W: Soul Laceration > COST: 50 energy > Cooldown: 15/13/11/9/7 seconds > Range: 250

Youmuu slashes the target enemy’s soul directly, the next basic attack dealing bonus (50/75/100/125/150 + 50% AD ) physical damage and drains 7%/9%/11%/13%/15% of the target’s max health. Interacts with the passive

E: Traceless Shift: > COST: 50 + 25 on second cast
> Cooldown: 21/18/15/12/10 > Range: 750

Youmuu throws his ghostblade forward with immense speed, piercing trough all enemies in a line, dealing ( 50/70/90/110/130 + 80% AD ) physical damage. This skill can be activated again to blink at the sword’s location. ( Thin yet long range, projectile moevent is fast)

**R: Traceless Assassination ** > No Cost
> Range: 950 > Cooldown: 80/70/60

Youmuu markes an enemy,blinks behind him then he becomes invisible to all enemies except the marked one for 7 seconds. The marked enemy receives extra (9%/12%/15%) damage as true damage for the duration of this ability.

You know why you got downvoted? Because people hate assassins. Good job, I don't think Riot will take your idea tho..

Wanna screw with people? change his lore to be VERY similar to Yasuo, make his abilities wind based, and give very subtle hints that hes related to him, watch how many Lore nazis are gonna make trends and stuff about finally having the answer to yasuos past XD. But this is off topic.

As for the actual Champ, its very cool, and it seems likely that he will be picked a lot (personally, that W looks NASTY to use against Juggernauts) and i LOVE that ult, its a Poppy ult, but at the same time its not, cause you can still be hit by skillshots while incisible. very nasty, just imagine a Zad casting his ult, then you ult someone else, so zed wasted his ult cause he lost a target and you killed the enemy ADC Making this nastier, you should Ult the support then Kill ADC's while invisible XD

You have a good concept for an assassin, give you that. But sorry to say this but your champion is just too broken to be on the rift.

The champion design off the bat already have heavy damage, good sustain, runs on energy, Caitlyn passive crits, and high move speed oriented. What you have made is a new version of Yi, slapped the double strike with a crit, Yasuo's Q, a max percentage health drain, a mobile escape and basically an ultimate that negate the ability to peal for the carries. It just doesn't work.

To demonstrate how op he is, I introduced you Taka from VainGlory. He have passive crits that heals him, 2 gapclose/escape, and an invisibility. You should get a pretty good concept of your champion after play him.

Your warrior is too similar to Yi/Yasuo + better version of Akali's ult.
