New Champion Concept "Dade" (still in the works)

So after reading up on the Nocturne and Zed theory, I started to make a champion that had gone down the path if Zed had taken full control of the shadows which ultimately led to Dade. Dade, although has strayed away from the initial idea, is a ninja based character (most likely from Ionia) who uses smoke to his advantage, disappearing and re-appearing around his foes.

Passive: Hitting enemies with ability places a concentrated smoke cloud that disbands after a few seconds. While an enemy is in a smoke cloud they have reduced vision and are slowed. While Dade is in a cloud he gains bonus AD and move speed. As clouds disband the buffs/debuffs granted are weakened as well. Clouds stack up to two times, and can be cleared with wards or vision granting abilitys. Additionally Dade can reactivate his ability's to teleport to the center of a fog cloud created by that ability.

Q: Dade throws out a handful of kunai dealing physical damage.

W: Dade tosses out a smoke bomb which explodes after hitting an enemy or after three seconds creating a smoke cloud. If this ability hits an enemy two clouds will be spawned due to Dade's passive.

E: Dade becomes invisable for 0.25 seconds causing his next auto attack to gain slightly increased range and increased damage and blink him behind his target. If Dade's target is in a smoke cloud upon being hit by the auto the cool down is reduced by half.

R: Dade drags an enemy away from the battle into a large, concentrated cloud of smoke. While in the cloud neither Dade nor the enemy can be disrupted by surrounding foes. The cloud last for 3 seconds or until someone has died and applies all buffs and debuffs given by a normal cloud.

Once more this is not final Dade is just a place holder. I'm open to names, general looks, weapons and changes.

I've always liked the idea of a smoke based character. This is a pretty cool concept! The only thing that really stands out to meall is his q. Throwing kunai is cool, and besides Kennen with his shuriken, we really dont have a character that does that. However as is...it seems to not fit the smoke them as much besides being "ninja". Also, is it a targeted ability or a skillshot? Cause I was thinking maybe a cone shaped attack similar to either Ashe's Ice volley or Mordekaiser's Siphon of Destruction. Perhaps make it where it does increased damage and/or slows enemies that are in smoke clouds or something, just so it has a little more synergy.

I would completely agree, as you may be able to tell the q description is a bit short and that is because I was never happy with it. The main idea of the q is to hit an enemy from a ways away then teleport in utilizing his passive. I think it best that it is a skill shot as it adds counter-play. I like the idea of the cone and I even tried working it into his kit, but as this ability was to be his main gap closer I couldn't find a way to make it into a cone while also spawning a definite cloud of smoke. If the cone hits enemies in several different spots it is difficult to assign where the cloud forms, and thus I thought a single shot skill shot would be best. The main idea for a combo would be to Q-port in, throw down a smoke bomb for the 2 clouds and then start E-ing away until they are out of the smoke and then you can simply port back to your W cloud. An idea I had regarding the cone was Dade could throw spikes or kunai in a cone (morde width but longer range) and the cloud would form on the first champion hit, or last minion/neutral monster. Aside from the fact I wasn't sure how the last minion or first champ would work I still hadn't fit smoke into it's concept.
