Akama by Arghund

(Melee Assassin) An assassin that provides high pressure on opponents that stay close and has a unique stealth mechanic.

With Maiev's recent release and the lack of draenei and their variations, I figured Akama would make a compelling addition to round out Illidan's circle of old friends turned enemies turned friends again...and so on. I honed in first on Akama's stealth aspect, drawing inspiration from his involvement in WC3 with his fellow now-retconned units, compiling his kit and some talents from a mixture of those same units, his various WoW appearances, and emphasizing his mutated state. The stealth mechanic in particular came in mind from the recent stealth rework and how it moreso acts as an untargetable state, so I reversed that property and tacked on Phantom Assassin's lack of mini-map presence from DotA.
