rabbit backshots

Author's notes

Please note that this build CAN be bad against CERTAIN enemy comps where bolt / ult build would be better for that match. Ability Points for T3 rabbit can be exchanged for T3 ult if the enemy's T3 ults are good (e.g., Vyper's, Rem's, Victor's). You can also spend the first T2 points for assistant instead if there are no good ults around. (Wraith is the best target to use T2 ult on, low cooldown for a guarantee kill)
