Rydora, the Origin of Shadows (Champion Concept)
Rydora is a Fighter who relies on split second reaction time and positioning in order to make proper use of his ultimate techniques. Through his Umbra Sense, he is the only champion in the game who can manipulate and reflect the enemy's projectiles as well as almost play with his opponents in order to slowly wither their health away. Rydora was one of the many great ninjas who established the Kinkou Order in the beginning and, now, techniques that Zed has unlocked that have been silent for centuries have brought Rydora back from the grave. Rydora was very important, but many of the more recent Kinkou masters have come to forget why due to secrets being lost in time. However, Zed has found out why his importance has been kept a secret and why the techniques he found were locked away. With a care free and extremely cocky attitude, Rydora would like to introduce himself to the Kinkou Order who literally took his heart and set it aflame years ago. The Origin of Shadows, as the Kinkou Order called him, has been reborn from death, and now he comes to return the favor to them, whoever it is that leads them now. Shen, knowing of his return, even wonders himself why he was killed exactly. What did Rydora do with the shadows so long ago that warranted ripping out his heart and incinerating it?

Passive- Slaughter of the Weak Innate: Whenever Rydora kills an enemy unit, he gains 0.5 attack damage, increased to 3 attack damage for enemy champions and epic monsters. This lasts permanently.
Ability 1- Umbra Sense Passive: The terrain around around Rydora becomes consumed by a field of shadows, causing the earth around him to burn black fire. Enemies inside these black flames have any projectiles that they create have 15/17.5/20/22.5/25% reduced projectile speed and have their ability's cast times increased by 10/20/30/40/50%. Active: Rydora causes the next enemy projectile that hits him within the next 0.225 seconds to be consumed by a pillar of black flames that erupts from the ground beside him. After a 5/4.5/4/3.5/3 second delay, the projectile will be thrown back in the direction that it was cast from, dealing 10/12.5/15/17.5/20% (+5% per 100 AD) damage and having all debuffs and crowd control removed from it. The projectile will do nothing if it does not deal damage. The projectile will be reflected a distance equal to the black flames surrounding Rydora. Successfully destroying and reflecting a projectile refunds half of the Energy cost of this move and reduces the cool down by 25%. Cost: 170/160/150/140/130 Energy Cool Down: 15/14.5/14/13.5/13 seconds Black Flames Aura Range: 800/1000/1200/1400/1600
Ability 2- Shadow Collapse Active: Rydora creates a shadow behind every enemy champion around him and, during this time, he can basic attack from them causing the shadow to deal 30/35/40/45/50% of his attack damage to the target and apply on-hit effects. When Rydora casts a spell, all of his shadows will also cast the spell with weakened effects. Shadow Umbra Sense- Reflects the first projectile to pass within 100 units of the shadow. Reflection damage reduced to 5/7/9/11/13% (+3% per 100 AD). Reflected projectiles are reflected only 700/750/800/850/900 units in the direction cast. Shadow Twilight Merge- Now causes the vision reduction debuff to apply to all enemy units around the shadows within 200/225/250/275/300 units as well as Rydora. Non-champion units are disarmed for the duration instead. Shadows disappear after 3/3.25/3.5/3.75/4 seconds. Cost: 110/105/100/95/90 Energy Cool Down: 17/15.5/14/12.5/11 seconds Range: 775 Shadow Distance Behind Target: 75
Ability 3- Twilight Merge Active: Rydora gains 20/25/30/35/40% (+10% per 100 AD) movement speed for the next 2.5 seconds before slamming down with his fist, dealing 90/135/180/225/270 (+90% bonus AD) physical damage to nearby enemy units and reducing their vision range to 300 units for the next 2.1/2.2/2.3/2.4/2.5 seconds. Non-champion units are disarmed for 3 seconds instead. Half of the energy cost if an enemy unit is damaged by this spell. Cost: 100 Energy Cool Down: 15/14/13/12/11 seconds AoE Radius: 350
Ultimate- Crimson Meteor Active: Rydora channels for 4 seconds in order to execute his ultimate technique: calling a meteor to eclipse the sun and cause the sky to turn a blood red. During this time, Rydora's Energy Costs are removed and his abilities each are enhanced. Umbra Sense- Now reflects all projectiles shot at Rydora within the next 0.5 seconds instead of 0.225 seconds. Now reflects 40/55/70% (+12% per 100 AD) of the damage. Shadow Collapse- Now has global range, but the shadows do not grant vision. Shadow basic attacks now deal 55/65/75% attack damage and increase Rydora's basic attack speed by 25/50/75%. Twilight Merge- Rydora now gains 50/75/100% (+15% per 100 AD) movement speed and the damage is increased by 25/50/75 (+20% bonus AD) physical damage. The AoE Radius is increased to 500 units. Once the red moon ends, Rydora regains health equal to 30/40/50% of the damage dealt during the red moon. Cost: 200 Energy Cool Down: 130/115/100 seconds
LORE "Stop, Rydora! This has gone too far! Your focus, it is off. There is something wrong! You have to stop!" The old man said these words with both anger and fear in his mind. He waded through the pool of blood spilled by the Origin of Shadows. "You don't get it at all, old man. This isn't what ninjas are. What they should be. Why should we protect balance when balance is a fool's concept?" "Because you were the one who thought of such a thing!" The old man brought out his blade to take a slash at Rydora's neck, only to have it blocked by a mysterious force of darkness that arose next to Rydora. "Yes, I did." The old man felt a sharp pain before falling onto the ground, his legs no longer attached to his body. "That was before I found the truth. The truth of what balance means. The world doesn't need balance. It never needed it." A blade of pure shadow emerged from the ground beside Rydora before plunging down and chopping the old man's hand off, causing him to drop the sword from his other hand. "Now, I see a better concept. You see, I am a true ninja. You are but lies... powerless lies." The other hand from the old man was yanked from his body before the life faded from his eyes. "That ends that." Rydora turned around before gazing at the valley below. The fires burned like fireflies at night. It was silent to Rydora, but he knew they were screaming below. He chuckled before laughing for a split second, closing his eyes. He suddenly felt a sharp pain his chest before everything went black.
"Is this what they wanted? My death? They chose the wrong ninja to kill. I mean, who do they think I am? I don't stay down. The shadows will consume them."
