Lyndon

The scoundrel

Completly reworked old concept.

Lyndon is an ambusher with many interactions with bushes : his Q doesn't reveal him if shot from a bush. His trait allow him to teleport from and to a bush, and his smoke grenade can create a bush everywhere.
Dirty fighting gives him some defence by isolating an enemy hero.
His cluster arrow ult is a "all in" : potential great damages but consumes all mana.
The other ult, sentry, gives him a good zoning and ambush power, by copying his Q spell.
Added mechanic to unlock special bolts during the game, and a trap build.
