This seems to cover most everything except for mentioning that mobility/damage/no crowd control abilities are okay for hiders (see Tryndamere's E) and whether there are any exceptions to the rules list you mention that are too complex to list straight out.

For instance, can Twisted Fate use his blue card form of W even if it has no CC?

Is Ashe allowed to attack while she has her Q active and if not why would her w really be okay?

You also list vision effects as unusable by hiders but you have Maokai's saplings and Zyra's seeds and Ashe's Hawkshot all as usable. Was this simply overlooked or what?

You may want to work these kinks out before trying to follow them yourself, but otherwise i do like what you've done here. It would be nice to have an up-to-date set of rules for Hide and Seek.
