@ErdamonPL: Hehe. Cleave just sounds better than splash, and while the mini-map is not nearly as important as it is in DOTA, it's still useful in League of Legends. It allows Riley to gank lanes easily and quickly rather than have to take a longer route or wait in a brush, losing experience points and gold in the process. Ah, and the ultimate is Phantom Assassin's Coup De Grâce; it's literally the exact same name and almost the same effect. But Coup De Grâce is such an interesting spell, and while I understand Riot is trying to phase out RNG elements, Coup De Grâce just seems like a perfect spell on an assassin such as Riley.

@PrimusMobileVzla: Yeah... I thought adding so many passive abilities is bad too. It's just, I can't really show off Riley's combat prowess with just four ordinary active abilities. I've tried to before, but each time it's impossible to make Riley unique, so I decided to try a new route: adding lots of passives and adding in Finesse, which basically adds even more spells to Riley's arsenel. So, yes, I know Riley's skillset is a little too much, but I did it that way so Riley's theme can get across. I hope that's okay!

Thank you both for taking the time to review Riley!
