Abilities

Note: AS = Attack Speed

Passive: Path of the Master

Kenji’s auto attacks are skill shots, and you can attack by left clicking in the direction you want to shoot. Kenji gains bonus AD equal to 20AS (2.5 AS = 50 AD). Additionally, every fourth attack, Kenji will fire an explosive arrow which will stick to the first enemy it hits or, if it misses, the arrow will stick to the ground instead. After 1.5 seconds, the arrow will explode dealing 5level true damage to all enemies within 150 range of the explosion.

Q: Arrows of the Master (toggle) No Cooldown

This ability can be toggled to 3 forms giving his arrows a special effect:

Normal Arrow: Kenji gains 1 focus stack (10 max) if his arrow hits a target. This attack is not a skillshot. It is used just like a normal auto attack.

Blazing Arrow: Kenji consumes 1 focus stack to shoot an arrow empowered by the flames dealing 20/25/30/35/40 (+90*AS) magic damage over 3 seconds to the target. This damage over time effect can stack up to 3 times on the same target for triple the damage per second.

Icy Arrow: Kenji consumes 1 focus stack to shoot an arrow empowered by ice slowing the target by 20/22.5/25/27.5/30% for 2 seconds. After a target is hit by 4 consecutive icy arrows, they are stunned for 1 second. The slow will still apply for 1 second after the stun ends. The same target cannot be stunned twice within 8 seconds. Attacking another target will reset the icy arrow count.

W: Quiver of the Divine (toggle) No Cooldown

Kenji toggles between two types of arrows:

Water Arrow: When an auto attack hits an enemy, Kenji heals for 2/4/6/8/10 health. Every 4th shot, this healing bonus is tripled if the attack hits an enemy.

Wind Arrow: Every 4th shot, Kenji fires an arrow empowered by the wind knocking back the first enemy it hits 450 units. While in wind arrow mode, Kenji passively gains 10/17.5/25/32.5/40 movement speed.

E: Swiftness of the Spirit No Cost Cooldown: 18/15/12/9/6 seconds Range: 400

Kenji dashes in a direction making his next arrow an exploding arrow.

R: Way of the Bowmaster No Cost Duration: 8/11/14 seconds Cooldown: 100 seconds at all ranks

Kenji’s auto attack range is increased by 200. Additionally, Kenji’s auto attacks will pierce through targets dealing 4/5/6% more damage for each target they go through. This damage can stack up to 5 times.

Lore

Bullseye. It was too easy. Shot after shot, he proceeded to hit his target every time. His students were learning, but they were unable to match his skill. Kenji sat beside his bow and began to think. The elements of purity were on his side: fire, earth, air, and water. However, would his students follow in his path? Would they be aware of the dangers lurking in the darkness?

Kenji forgot everything after his whole life went black before him. One of his students had been corrupted by the way of the shadows just as he had feared. He felt the darkness pass through his neck as his head dropped to the ground. Blood sputtered everywhere, and that’s all he remembered of his past life.

When he woke up, his head was reattached, but Kenji could sense something different. His hands glowed with a green light and his quiver was full of an assortment of arrows. The elements continued to aid him, even in this strange realm. Then it hit him: The Shadow Isles; that’s where he had been brought. He was dead.

Kenji trudged through the mysterious lands of the Shadow Isles listening to the desperate screams of tortured souls. He laughed. The screams seemed to empower him. He felt so much rage, he wanted to return to his hometown, Ionia; return to his temple to get revenge on his killer.

He returned to Ionia and wrought destruction to his village. It took the combined powers of Shen, Kennen, and Akali to finally subdue him. The city-state lay waste in smoldering flames, but he caught a glimpse of his killer. Kenji finally slipped into the shadows escaping his three captors to chase the shadow killer.

After chasing for hours, Kenji had lost the man and he decided there was only one way to get revenge. He approached the Institution of War and demanded to be put into the League of Legends. After being denied, he destroyed the building leaving half burning in flames and the other frozen in ice. With no choices left, the Institute accepted him. Before heading to the Rift, he stabbed an arrow drenched in blood into the brick wall with a note:

“Revenge will be mine.”

Please leave a comment down below if you have any suggestions or questions. Thanks for reading!

EDIT 1: Due to a large number of complaints about difficulty CSing, I made his normal arrow a normal auto attack. This allows him to farm normally while still maintaining the versatility of his kit.

EDIT 2: Thanks to phinsa123's comment, all of Kenji's abilities were changed:

Q: Slow reduced to 20/22.5/25/27.5/30% instead of 50/55/60/65/70% and stun count increased to 4 arrows.

W: Movement speed in Wind Arrow mode changed to 10/17.5/25/32.5/40 from 20/25/30/35/40.

E: Shield removed, ranged decreased from 500 to 400, cooldown increased to 18/15/12/9/6 seconds from 4 seconds at all ranks.
