I tool a look at your Kung Fu champion. Your concept is really nice! The low cooldown on Shang's abilities and combo mechanics both work really well for a martial artist champion, and would both also give him much faster-paced gameplay than any other champion. I think we can take the champion again. I had a few ideas regarding a new kit for Shang, and I'd like to know what you'd think of it:

The premise of the kit is that, as with your concept, Shang is manaless and instead uses Chi as a resource. All of his basic attacks would cost nothing, but his ultimate would cost 5 Chi to use, and the Chi would decay after spending some time out of combat, as with Ferocity. All of his abilities, including his ult, would be available at level 1, and would all have 3 second cooldowns (he'd still get an ability point at level 1, and ranks all his basic abilities to rank 6 and his ult to rank 4). Since this risks leading to early game power overload, which is the case for Lee Sin, his damage and utility should start out weak, and his utility should scale with rank. In terms of gameplay, I think both of us want a slippery fighter who combines autoattacks and abilities, and I also want him to disrupt the enemy team by literally moving his opponents around as he gives them a beating. Here's the kit:

Passive - Chi Flow: After using an ability, Shang's next basic attack within the next 3 seconds deals bonus damage and grants 1 Chi.

Q - Tiger Sweep: Shang dashes a fixed 300 units in the indicated direction and swipes all enemies in an arc in front of him upon arrival, dealing  physical damage.

W - Mantis Hook: Shang's next basic attack strikes twice, each strike dealing physical damage. Both attacks fully apply on-hit effects and can critically strike, and both attacks fully benefit from Chi Flow's bonus damage and chi generation. Mantis Hook resets Shang's autoattack timer.

E - Eagle Claw: Shang picks a target enemy within units and grapples them, switching positions with them.

R - Rising Meteor: Costs 5 Chi to use. Shang punches his enemy upwards with such strength that they are knocked up for seconds, dealing   physical damage.

What's your opinion on the kit? I also have a vague idea for the lore (Elderly Ionian martial arts master with legendarily deft hands, Noxian invaders capture him and publicly lop off both his hands as a sign of intimidation, he replaces them with stone copies and learns to animate them with the help of Wukong and fights in the League in defiance of Noxus).
