Introduction

I thought another ninja champion would be AWESOME!! Haha. The idea is for her to be quick and painful but she would literally have to all in each time otherwise, it might not be worth it. Positioning is pretty much everything with her as well making her a relatively high skill cap champion. That is, although she has higher burst potential with her Auto attacks at ranged, her real strength is in her melee which she cannot activate unless she actively moves closer to the target instead of just right clicking to attack them as she will just use her ranged attacks if they are out of her melee range. She is definitely a late game sort of champion.

Name: Tabi Occupation: Assassin for hire Faction: Independent Place of Origin: Ionia(Now resides in Noxus due to high job demand) Age: 25 Role: Assassin Lane: Top/Mid, It is also possible for her to jungle as well due to her passive.

Champion Lore

The shadows, they are dark. They came and took them away. My parents are gone forever. For a long time, I feared the shadow. But more than my fear, more than my trauma, I seethed with hatred. Hatred for the ones who took and for the ones who shall pay. It was a dark night when they came again and this time, it was for me. It was strange. As they struck with precision and skill for the kill, my mind became blank and yet focused; I evaded their attacks and struck back. Before I knew it, my foes were dead before me and I had won. The shadow that I had feared my entire life... dead before me.

It was at that moment that I met him. He called himself the Master of Shadows. He told me that I need not fear the shadows but embrace it. Despite having killed his disciples, he felt that I have the potential to become great if I embraced the shadows. I felt I didn't have much choice in the matter. So I chose to embrace it and as I learned from the master himself, I found that my talent for his art was great enough that one day I may even surpass him. For a long while I embraced the shadows and him as my master, but I learned one night about the truth of the night of my parents' deaths. He was the one responsible for their deaths. I decided to confront him and challenge him to a duel to the death. Unfortunately, I lost and barely escaped with my life. That was 2 years ago. I have trained hard and am now ready to take him on to avenge my parents' deaths. I learned after hunting down some of his disciples that he had joined the League of Legends. And so I have decided to join the league to find my parents' killer and avenge them. Many times over.

Appearance

She looks a lot like Mileena from Mortal Kombat minus the sharp teeth.

Stats

Health: 365 (80) Health Regen: 6.5(0.5) Zen: 0/100 (1 per second out of combat) (5 per second in combat) Range: 125 (melee) and 500 (ranged)

Attack Damage: 51 (+3.5) Attack Speed: 0.635 (3.2%) Armor: 19 (3.5) Magic Resist: 30 (1.25) Move Speed: 350

Abilities

Passive: Zen Tabi uses Zen has her resource. The longer she stays in battle, the more focused and in tuned she becomes with herself and her situation. She regenerates 1 per second while out of combat but while in combat, she regenerates 5 per second. Each auto attack grants her 2 Zen. Tabi also adjusts her fighting style automatically based on her situation. If her opponent is out of melee range, she automatically switches to throwing needles granting her 1 x (her level) increased critical chance. If her opponent is in melee range, she automatically switches to Sais which are defensive daggers granting her 3 x (her level) increased attack speed.

Q: Shadow Needle/Shadow Blade (CD: 8) (Range: 900 for ranged mode 125 for melee) (No cost) Tabi throws a needle imbued with shadow if she is in ranged mode dealing 30/60/90/120/150 + (100% Bonus AD) as physical damage; this benefits from the needle aspect of her passive and can critically strike but cannot apply on hit effects. The first target hit by the needle will be marked with shadow for 2/4/6/8/10 seconds. Ranged mode is a skill shot.

If Tabi is in melee mode, she will strike the target with a shadow imbued blade that will mark the target with shadow for 2/4/6/8/10 seconds and deal 50/90/130/170/200 + (100% Bonus AD) as physical damage; this can also critically strike but also applies on hit effects. Melee mode is a point and click skill.

Marked targets take 3/6/9/12/15% increased damage from Tabi. With each point of Zen spent on this cast, the increased damage goes up by 0.15%. At 100 Zen this is equal to a total 15% increased damage bonus at 18/21/24/27/30% increased damage from Tabi.

W: Shadow Speed (CD: 18/16/14/12/10) (Duration: 2/3/4/5/6 seconds) Tabi creates a short trail of after images while moving at a high speed in order to confuse her enemies. She can move through units and gains a 12/14/16/18/20% move speed bonus. As she moves, she leaves behind a very short trail of after images that disappear almost immediately (think afterimages left behind by Templars in StarCraft: Brood War).

Every point of Zen spent will increase her move speed bonus by 0.5% per point and if she spends 100 Zen, she will also become untargetable for the duration.

If she attacks or uses a skill at this time, she will become targetable again and the effect ends immediately.

E: Shadow Dash (CD: 12) (No Cost) (Range: 550) Tabi releases a burst of shadow energy into her legs making her dash forward for a distance. If she collides into an enemy champion, she will immediately side step, cut her target's achillies heel and position herself behind them dealing 30/60/90/120/150 + (0.50 Bonus AD) and slowing her target down by 30/40/50/60/70% decaying over 2 seconds.

The slow duration is increased by 0.025 second per point of Zen and the base damage is increased by 1 point per point of Zen.

R: Fearless Shadow Assault (CD: 150/120/90) (Range: 1000) (Potential Distance Travelled: ~2000) Tabi enshrouds herself in fiery shadow energy and dashes forward fearlessly in a straight line. The first enemy champion hit will be dealt 50/100/150 + (100% AP) magic damage and then knocked back for half the distance that Tabi travelled.

At the end of the distance travelled (including the knockback as she travels with the target), Tabi side steps and immediately positions herself behind her target and slits their throat for the kill dealing 100/175/250 + (100% Total AD) as physical damage.

If the target collides with an obstacle, it will be stunned for 1.5 seconds and Tabi will not position herself behind the target but next to it before slitting their throat. The stun applies after both damage instances have been applied.

Each point of Zen spent decreases the cool down of this skill by 0.5 seconds.

So this is my concept of an assassin type.

That ultimate, the total amount of damage it can inflict would be like a talon and a zed both targeting the same squishie at the same time and doing their full combos. Yes, both of their damage combined. No thanks.

Besides, some of the stuff you discussed just would not work out too well...
