Batsue, the Former Maiden of Ionia is not a maiden at all, just a filthy, filthy gutter rat. Oh, and it is also in the League of Legends. Probably some pleb country club. *Snort followed by laughing*

Batsue's Pitiful, Depressing Tale
Batsue was once known as the Maiden of Ionia, a title obtained by winning an ancient Beauty Pageant that had been held for centuries, as Playboy did not exist. However, she lost to Katsue, a newcomer who looked suspiciously like a animated glass figurine. "She's obviously not even human," She said, holding a glass prism in front of Katsue's head, a rainbow of colors clearly appearing through the other side, "she obviously came to life due to some wizard or something that Riot is going to add later." "A maidens laugh should be as clear as glass." The elders replied. "The last time she tried to eat food, her finger broke off!" "A maiden should be as fragile as glass," The elders replied, "now if you would please leave, and keep your pictures on the table. We need them for... reasons." Batsue stormed off, and her anger over her defeat by an inhuman creature turned into hatred for everyone who doted on Katsue, who loved her more than they did her, who forgot about the woman who was once the Maiden of Ionia. Then, the hatred grew into insanity. Suddenly, a disheveled, crazed woman began to appear throughout Valoran, lashing out at people at random with brutish, destructive attacks. Shunned by all, even the vengeful Zed and Syndra, who considered her a hideous threat despite their shared hatred for Ionia, she wandered aimlessly. Nothing was small enough to not make her jealous and begin to rage. Sometimes, you could hear her sobbing in her moments of clarity. However, at times her beauty and perfection shined through her corrupted soul, and once again, she was seen as an object of envy and desire, filling all who saw her with joy. This tended to cause their immediate injury after she reverted back to her mentally damaged self. Hearing news of Katsue joining the League of Legends and leaving her sheltered, well defended palace that was once hers, she traveled to the League of Legends to break the glass idol once and for all. "Don't trust glass women bearing gifts. Or anyone. They probably are trying to eradicate you for the 80th time." -Batsue, ranting to a wall

Playstyle
Batsue is a champion that can't keep up an aura of competency for long. The longer she appears on the battlefield, the more crazed she becomes, the more mana she consumes, and the harder it is for her to string together her abilities. She can attack in an all out burst, but can't hold it up for long. I hope you like manamune and cdr, because that's exactly what you're going to have to build on her if you expect her to keep up your abilities for more than a few moments. Her true power comes with her Brilliant abilities, which deal increased damage, cost no mana, and give her extra boosts. Beyond that, her escapes all hinge on her e, which still is rather limited, especially when going over a wall. However, her skimpy and dirty passives allow her to gain immense power in the moment she uses her abilities, and also increasing her chasing ability. Boots of Swiftness would be a good choice, as they prevent her from losing too much of her speed, and increase the speed of her abilities overall. Mercury's Treads are also a good choice, reducing the ability of enemies to ruin her chase with stuns. Even without these buffs, her q is an excellent sniping tool, and her e is also great for chasing. Her brilliant abilities add extra damage, but also allow her to push through damage she might take from up close combat. Her q, for example, can be used as a gap closer, and when combined with the skimpy buff, becomes even deadlier. Her w is great is conjunction with a normal ultimate, and if this is timed correctly, will deal damage on top of a stun that allows teammates to close in. Her e becomes even better at chasing, dealing a heightened, longer slow, as well as improving range. Her ultimate deals damage that is highly improved over the normal amount, and increases speed, making it possible to stack speed on top of speed and chase even more effectively. Overall, her abilities must me timed correctly in order to make the most of their improved forms, and if used excessively, will hinder her greatly. Bashfrog (talk) 14:33, August 22, 2014 (UTC)Bashfrog
