Hey guys,

So we’re going to be doing a big reveal on this stuff soon, but I wanted to give you a quick gameplay peek of the next champion – the Shadow Ninja.

We’ve worked hard to make a cool gameplay loop that is really ninja-y and lets you be pretty clever. Let me run you through it real fast;

• He can make a stationary shadow of himself that then copies his skills when used. For example, you can throw a skillshot shuriken and he’ll also throw one. If they both hit, then you hit with two!
• He can swap places with his shadow to be elusive, set up ganks, or dodge skillshots
• All his skills can double hit!
• Yes, he uses energy

Shadow Ninja’s gameplay isn’t about deceptive clones, but instead copying himself to extend and increase his power or mobility. And since his moves deal with areas or skillshots, setting up the right positioning to double-hit and maximize your damage is really important.

OK theorycrafters…all yours!

This sounds really awesome, I hope he's as fun to play as he seems

P.S. Props for taking the EUW community feedback regarding the priorities between EUW and NA

Hes sounds like hes going to be overpowered in the right hands and underpowered in most people's hands.
Kinda like that

Seems very funny to play same as Syndra...

cool

Actaully this sounds cool.

Awesome, a new ninja.

make him very high skill cap but not too underpoward if you dont know how to use him, because then the same thing that happened to syndra will happen to him

nice :O new ninjaaaa
