C: Footsteps ---> Apparition : Yoru summons an apparition of himself to run in a straight line. Once it successfully ends its duration, the apparition will perform an animation similar to using gatecrash as well as the sound.

Alternate fire: The sound of Gatecrash will play and the apparition will run to a direction.

The only thing that can distinguish the apparitions from the real Yoru will be the signature wet footsteps that was removed. However, to further sell the illusion, it will be heard from 3/4ths of the walking sound range while the other sounds real.

Q: Blindside ---> Nightveil : Instead of a blind, enemies will be nearsighted and inflicted with paranoia.

Yoru will be able to see the trajectory and where the ball will bounce off and detonate.

E: Gatecrash : Increased weapon draw time after teleportation OR drastically lowered sound radius when you teleport to it's location.

Kinda like how Omen's to sound works. You know he tp'd but you don't know where he tp'd to.

Ultimate: Dimensional Drift : Faster activation, increased duration to 9 seconds, Cost reduced to 6 and Gatecrash can now be immediately used after ultimate ends.

I just picked up Yoru a week ago and he's pretty underwhelming. It felt like he didn't live up to the gameplay fantasy of how he was supposed to be that silent lurking agent and instead turned into someone who notifies a quarter of the map that he tp'd. But despite the horrible state he's in, I still like Yoru alot and I'd still keep playing him, waiting for what ever kind of buffs that does little fixes nothing and now have to wait for a whole month for another.

If I could pick one from this concept which one to implement on his kit, It would be the gatecrash sound reduction. If that's too much to ask for, then his decoys that can perform Gatecrash as loud as they can will do.
