A More Interesting Champion

I want to see a new kind of champion. One that's different from the others in terms of playstyle and strategy. Rek'Sai was a good compliment to this theme, but I would like to see someone that's more assassin focused. And I don't mean assassin as in the classic mash buttons and get fed type. Someone that requires actual strategy, and could only be good with a certain amount of skill (or lack of, if we're talking about the enemy team). Rek was a really cool addition, but her strategy relies on placing tunnels that the enemy can destroy by standing on them for two seconds. I'd rather see a utility that had more potential to punish someone for stepping out of line.

Basically what I'm asking for is a new and unique character (like Rek), but in the style of an assassin.

Note: Not dissing Rek, she looks awesome.

So, the unique assassins we have already don't work for you. Alright. Why not? What do you want out of an assassin, exactly?

Classic Eve worked for what you're asking for. The community thought her toxic, and then Riot reworked her into oblivion.
I'd be very happy to see something like this again. The community seems to think assassins are a broken concept if they work well though, so it doesn't seem likely.

Xila - The Soulweaver Passive - Soulstealer - Xila gains a shield equal to 1% of the max health of each unit she kills for 8 seconds. The shield's duration is refreshed if she kills another enemy. Q - Soul Needle - Xila summons a needle to pierce units ahead of her. If the needle pierces an enemy champion or hits a wall, she gains the ability to teleport to the enemy champion and stunning them for 0.75 seconds. The ability's cooldown is refreshed if she kills a champion or gets an assist. W - Lifestealer - Xila stands still and drains the life from her enemies, draining 7/8/9/10/11% of the enemy's current health over 5 seconds if they remain in its very short range and gaining a shield equal to that. E - Pierce Soul - Xilia empowers her next auto-attack, removing all of her shield and dealing damage equal to 0.75/1.00/1.25/1.50/1.75 of the shield. R - Mortal Link - XIlia marks an enemy champion for 10 seconds, gaining the ability to teleport to them at any point. Once she does, she will slow them for 80% over 3 seconds, decaying over its duration, and establishing a tether between them. She drains 5/6/7/8/9% of the enemy champion's max health over 7 seconds while they remain in twice her auto-attack range, gaining a shield equal to the damage she does. If she auto-attacks them or hits them with a Soul Needle, the damage that is drained is increased by 50% up to a cap of 500%.

There's your assassin. She will gain shields as she kills champions and can escape as well. She does damage based on max and current health and her power is drastically increased by shields.
