[Champion Concept] Something, the Replicator (SEEKING SUGESTIONS)

UPDATE: 10/20/14 Characters name is now Eff'Ingo, he is a character from the void. Effingo in Latin means copy or duplicate and is also the root of the word Effigy.

I've thought up the idea for a marksman that bases him/her/itself around making copies of itself. I can't come up with a name because I can't decide where I want it to be from. If its a void character than its gonna be XXX'XXX, much like Kog'Maw or Kha'Zix and so on, but if it's not it would have a different name.

**Passive: For each copy out you deal X% more/less??? damage and take X% more damage. **

Extremely similar to Yorick's passive except you take more damage not less. Used as a way to increase reward for playing it luckily or really well but also used as a way to counter balance the fact that it'll be harder to deduce which character is the real one.

Q: You and all clones you control fire a line skill shot that deals X(+X% total/bonus AD???) physical damage and slows X% for X seconds. For each shot that lands the amount of damage scales down X% per hit and the slow stacks.

Damage reduction and slow stacking extremely similar to Azir's Q. Your basic poking ability outside of sending clones in just to die attacking.

W: For 0.2 seconds you turn invisible, (Still able to be hit while invisible) and upon becoming visible you put out a clone that lasts X seconds, has 100% your HP, 100% your attack speed and deals X% your total AD each attack in physical damage and takes X% (your total AD???) more damage. Pressing W again while the clone is active will assign its movement or its target to attack.

The main clone creating spell you will use. Due to the way you target with this spell CDR will make you able to get close to having a clone out constantly assuming it stays out the full duration but having more than one clone out at a time would be impossible to control or if you guys think its a good idea have it possible to spawn two and both of them be controlled with the 1 key, but I feel that would make it too obvious which are clones in some situations.

E: You put a clone in your place and turn invisible for 1 second, briefly gaining a X% move speed boost for the duration. 1.5 seconds after casting, the clone with explode dealing X(+X% Ability power????) magic damage??? to all targets within the blast radius. If you are moving in a specific direction when casting this spell the clone will continue to move in that direction. Pressing E again while its moving will make it stop. Casting Q during its transit will make it stop and fire a shot after which it will wait for the 1.5 second duration to end before exploding, or explode immediately after firing if the duration has already ended.

Similar to Wukong's W except with a lot more utility for a lot less time. It can be used in poking or in escaping. I am kind of questioning this ability because I feel it might be a little bit too powerful, but I hoping that adding in a decent amount of invisibility into its kit will make it a lot more viable to buy pink ward trinket upgrades or just more pink wards as a counter measure.

R: For 0.2 seconds you turn invisible, (Still able to be hit while invisible) and upon becoming visible you put out a clone that lasts X seconds, has 100% your HP, 100% your attack speed and deals X% your total AD each attack in physical damage and takes 10%/20%/30% less damage. After a 1 second delay, for only one time per ult, pressing R again will switch position and HP with you and your clone. (there is no animation for this, it happens seamlessly and instantly) Using this retains the movement command and attack target of you or the clone. (So you don't get awkward pauses or attack animation cancelling when you press R again) ** This cannot be done if the clone is too far away.** (Roughly Orianna's ball return range) You control the attack target and movement for this clone with Alt + Movement button. (Typically right mouse button)

Its for the most part identical to your W besides the fast that the clone takes less damage than you not more, and you can switch places with your other clone only up to one time, meaning you can't constantly switch between them. This ability is used a bit more as a somewhat kind of self peel in teamfights, you have your W clone fighting with you but you have your R clone kind off farther in the back line ready if you need to switch.

So clearly there are a lot of things I am not sure about. I need alot of help with numbers and the name, feedback on whether or not the champion is balanced or if everything fits in the kit well. Please leave as much feedback as possible, thank you.

Instead of calling it "the Replicator" what about "the Exemplar" (which Exemplar still means to duplicate or copy). If not what about an actual name based off the word? (Duplex? Latin for duplicate?) The concept is quite interesting though.
