Fakeout

Fakeout is a basic ability for Yoru.
==Description==
Fakeout is a Decoy ability that Yoru must equip before casting. Upon activation, he deploys an echo that transforms into a mirror image of himself and runs directly forward, creating audible footsteps as it moves. Yoru can use Primary and Alt Fire to control how the ability is set up. Using Primary Fire instantly deploys and activates the echo, whilst using Alt Fire places a stationary and inactive but visible echo that remains in place indefinitely. Yoru can activate a placed echo at any time to make it transform into a mirror image and run forward.
When activated, the image runs in a straight line, expiring after a set amount of time. If it collides with vertical terrain, it will try to continue running forward if it hits at an angle but at more perpendicular angles the image will stop in place until it expires, making no sound.
If an enemy shoots the image at any point, it will turn towards them, exploding after a short delay to flash any agent within a conical area directed towards where the image is looking. Enemies can deal damage to the image through other means and destroy it without the image triggering its flash effect.

==Update History==
==Previous versions==
Yoru's original Fakeout ability functioned similarly to its current version, deploying footsteps instead. This version was used from Yoru's release until it was reworked in Patch 4.04.
===Description===
Fakeout is an ability that Yoru must equip before casting. Upon activation, he deploys an echo that walks directly forward, mimicking an agent's footsteps. The echo walks in a straight line, expiring after either a set amount of time or once it collides with vertical terrain. Yoru can use Primary and Alt Fire to control how the ability is set up. Using Primary Fire instantly deploys and activates the echo, whilst using Alt Fire places a stationary, inactive, and invisible echo that remains in place indefinitely. Yoru can activate a placed echo at any time to make it reveal itself and walk forward.
The echo is invisible to enemies beyond a large radius.
