I think he looks great and I can't wait to see him in action.
Overview and Traits
Demon Assassin is a Melee Assassin fighting for the Forces of Darkness. He wields a sword and a knife in battle, the sword being his primary weapon.
The Demon Assassin is a highly mobile character who can quickly close the gap between himself and his opponent though the use of warp attacks. His Shadow Swap ability allows him to change positions with an enemy Demigod, throwing them back into their foes. His melee attacks are fast and have a passive chance to critically strike.
While mobile and able to dodge many normal attacks, Demon Assassin is susceptible to magical damage.
The nemesis to Regulus, the Demon Assassin is extremely fast and lethal.

Demon’s Speed
Demon Assassin’s movement speed increases.|||Looking sweet.|||jesus. he sounds downright lethal for anyone attempting to flee. i can see good players raping us noobs!|||Every single one of his abilities of course ripped straight from Dota =(|||pkc|||_PINK|||Warp area seems really broken, if you're right in the midst of a new creep wave, you'd have quite a bit of time with that invincibility.|||Z32|||I wonder how they will balance that but lets wait for the beta before we start to rage. :)
Shadow swap will probably be useful to avoid being ganked in addition to throwing an enemy demigod to the wolfs (aka Unclean Beast).|||Col. Jessep|||pkc|||Will Shadow Swap count as an interrupt?|||Col. Jessep|||Rake|||Col. Jessep|||haha i see it infront of me, the warp train trap
warp your enemy all the way back to your health crystal(or a towerfarm) with 4 of these dudes. i meanexchange position 4 times gotta get you some distance right? xD|||This sounds even more overpowered than Unclean Beast.|||Of course, when he shadow swaps he is now deeper in your territory, so if his allies are pounding you, your allies should be pounding him.
That said, it will make holding a lane 2v1 by using your tower(s) a lot harder, since he can just yank you away. Hopefully it has a fairly high mana cost+cast time.|||One thing I find interesting is that one of his skill lines appears to be movement speed buffs. I can see Anklet + Boots + points in Speed + Swap as a pretty badass ganking build.|||Rake|||Z32|||Benny Moore|||He needs more color, and he's small.|||Col. Jessep|||QoT and TB are underpowered in 1v1 situations. That doesnt mean UB is overpowered. Acclimation is too strong, Ill give you that. But how often do you reach level 15 in a match? And if you do the game is almost over anyway. Most demigods have a skill to get rid of Spit and generals have monk to heal them in the field. A good Sedna can simply outheal an UB.
UB is only overpowered if you feed him - like every other demigod. Can a TB or QoT stand up to Erebus or Sedna? Nope, because they are support demigods and really bad in 1v1 situations.
I wont comment on Rook because Spooky pretty much proves that a good Rook can stand up to any challenge.
