what is that jumpscare thing your taking about? its mentioned in the ability text but not explained.

is the 25% backstab the behindhit or the ripout one? cause the behindhit one is actually too easy to counterplay i think. since you use it most of the time after he flashed under his tower, he can turn round without losing distance. it would need way higher projectile speed the (mundo cleaver or similar) if its the ripout one, well, same problem as before. and you didnt say if you would remove it being minionblockable. " Nuke that just randomly deals damage depending on how hard you're snowballing" so basically like any other ability in the game? also he cant really poke with it cause too less range.

you could exchange miss chance for base armor

i still think that managing the clone would be really hard, propably cause im just a silver player, but even if you propably can, the great playerbase will have problems. watch a gold draven or syndra.

too me he still feels a bit too rengar now: lots of aa modifiers, a slowing skillshot thats minionblockable, secondary abilities...

also, why give an assasin %damage? as i already said, your rework propably made him a fighter, which is good with his "once in never out" skillset. dont show me lategame numbers, im mainly concerned about his early ganks wich are the most important part of his playstyle imo. even worse since you took his onhit-slow out. its also not that hard to counter shaco. after playing him a bit i know that as long as you avoid being at certain areas in certain times your safe. you just need some more wards IN the jungle.

concerning playstyles you actually removed ap by making the only incentive to do it (box scaling) noneistant. im fine with that though, as i said the full ad build does that now.

while having a tanky standard build will make him better for sure, i think that it doesnt fit his theme well.

while you made it so that his clone doesnt have the %damage so that he cant burst fighters and tanks, he still instagibs someone with hydra, IE and even only decent ult useage. its a common mistake on custom champs though to forget about the numbers with non-standard builds (happens too riot as well).

TL;DR Now builds fighter instead of full ad which is problematic theme and damage wise. hes propably more of a lategame duelist now. think yorick+mobility
