Echolocation 1250 active spirit item

[nathanieljbrill]

Echolocation is helpful in teamfights around walls where you don't know the exact position of the enemy in addition to when you want to take a risky jungle and want to know if the enemy player you saw on the minimap is coming towards you. It could also be used to hunt down hiding or lying in wait players. I expect it to get a lot of value in low and mid ranks because it can cover for a weakness in map awareness somewhat but I wouldn't be surprised if in high ranks it became a common buy for someone on the team who is good at scouting.

Echolocation
* Spirit Item
* Costs 1250 souls

Stat Bonuses
* +10% spirit lifesteal
* +6 Spirit

Passive
You can see the outline of players through walls and veils within 15 meters of you. A heavy Melee within 5 meters of you will cause an exclamation point to appear near your cross hairs.

Active
* 25s Cooldown
* 5s Duration
Your Echolocation Range increases to 50 meters. You make the sound of the orc at 1:50 in this clip from Return o the King which can be heard by enemies within the radius so they know if they are detected.

If you're suggesting it's far too good the passive could be removed.

As mentioned by Gimmie, yeah… maybe not an outline, but more like a recent deal or something similar. I feel like this kind of item should just be a well... ward or a scan for a second or two to provide info, not something that's constantly giving you all the details while running around.

The passive is within 15 meters so very close range. You will know they're there most likely already just not exactly where. The passive could theoretically be removed though for balance if the active justifies the cost alone.
