Tony Masters was a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who exposed to an experimental variant of the Super-Soldier Serum, called the Mnemonic Primer. It grants him the ability to duplicate any movement he sees, but at a cost. The huge amount of information his brain records, causes it to overwrite his own memories, replacing what little remains of his original self. Now known as Taskmaster he offers his skills to the highest bidder as a mercenary and combat trainer.

Each Unique Attack you make decreases your Opponent's Defensive Ability Accuracy by X%.
Being Struck by a Special Attack resets both of these abilities' effects.

Exploit Weakness

Successfully exploiting a weakness instantly deals X Direct Damage.
After Exploit Weakness is triggered or expires, it goes on cool down for 5 seconds.

Learn the Foe
Each time a Debuff is placed on Taskmaster, all future Debuffs placed on him have their Potency reduced by X%.
If the Debuff Potency reduction reaches 100%, Taskmaster becomes Immune to Debuffs.

Heavy Attacks
If Exploit Weakness is on Cooldown, the Cooldown immediately ends, and the target is set.
If Taskmaster has triggered Exploit Weakness in the last second, or his current Exploit Weakness target is a Heavy Attack, he avoids any incoming attacks for the first second of charging this attack.
As Taskmaster fights each opponent he gains greater and greater understanding of their combat style as well as their most likely reactions, making it progressively more difficult for them to use even their most potent powers against him.
Intuitive Pattern Recognition
Increases Concussion Debuffs Durations by X second(s).
Each time Taskmaster successfully triggers Exploit Weakness it places a Concussion Debuff on his Opponent reducing their Ability Accuracy by X% for 6 seconds, and resetting the Duration of any currently active Concussions caused by this ability.
If Taskmaster places 5 Concussions on his Opponent simultaneously, they convert into a Passive effect which reduces Ability Accuracy by X% for 15 seconds, counts as 5 Debuffs for Taskmaster's other Abilities, and removes the Exploit Weakness cooldown timer. While this effect is active, Taskmaster will not trigger additional Concussion Debuffs.

Ideal Counter
Taskmaster uses his mastery of his opponent’s own tactics to develop the ideal counter strategy.
If there is an active Exploit Weakness target it is automatically triggered, and it deals X additional Direct Damage.
Causes Bleed lasting 5 seconds and dealing X Damage, per Debuff triggered on the Opponent this fight. Max Damage after 10 Debuffs.
Causes Armor Break lasting 10 seconds reducing Armor by X per Buff triggered on the Opponent this fight. Max Damage after 10 Buffs.
Opponents that also can reduce Taskmaster's Ability Accuracy will counter Taskmaster's Debuffs and those with multi-hit Special Attacks can counter his Photographic Reflexes.
Taskmaster is less effective against champs that are immune to Ability Accuracy reduction such as Sauron, Old Man Logan or those that benefit from Ability Accuracy reduction such as Attuma. Also his Debuffs are susceptible to abilities like Purify
The Bleed on Taskmaster's Special Attacks doesn't look terribly impressive on the surface, but it can stack up really quickly by stacking Debuffs over the course of a fight, and triggering it while several Debuffs are active on the Opponent. Its duration is also short enough that Deep Wounds can make a sizeable difference.
Resonate
Taskmaster has several abilities which build off of Debuffs on his Opponent, Resonate allows him to stack those abilities up as he goes about his standard gameplay rotation.
Glass Cannon
Much of Taskmaster's defense comes in the form of Perfect Block Chance, or evading the blow entirely, both of which neatly counter the extra damage from Glass Cannon, while allow him to fully benefit from the bonus attack.
Despair
When Awakened Taskmaster can place plenty of Debuffs on the opponent. Use this mastery to also reduce their Regen rate as well.
