Serious question of the day (try to not get upset/angry)
Why is Naafiri, one of the most overpowered junglers for quite a while now allowed to cast tiamat during her E while Kayn can't? Both abilities are almost identical
Rethorical... I remember the old head of balance saying "it was non negotiable" to remove Kayn's tiamat Q interaction while giving no reasoning behind it and while its not even the best ability to abuse tiamat.
Examples:
- Quinn can tiamat during her E, making her the only ADC to fully utilize profane to its fullest potential, increasing her already high burst by a significant amount and giving her strong wave clear as a hyper scaling ADC
- Khazix can get E resets with tiamat. Not a common thing to do/see, but at the highest levels of play a fed Khazix can wipe an entire team within seconds without having to wait for his super short Q cooldown if profane has enough damage to finish enemies. This enables triple and even quadruple jumps (OTT it also gives him a shit ton of wave clear to make his isolation passive more consistent)
- Fiora... Chinese Fioras can proc 4 vitals within a second as long as she has any Tiamat item. This is a very high level combo/sequence that almost has no counterplay and it has oneshot potential against even tanks since its % true damage
Kayn got done extra dirty because for coding reasons the old balance team "restricted" his Q from being able to cast anything else on its duration (no item actives like a stopwatch or youmus, no trinkets, etc)
I hope now that we have a new balance team that its leadership would seek to fix mistakes left by the past management (which obviously would never want to fix because their evident biased hatred against the champion and ego reasons)
I literally see no reason why Kayn is not allowed to use tiamat during Q other than the literal old head of balance team said it was non negotiable while offering 0 reasoning. The interaction literally breaks nothing, adds a small layer of skill to the champ's kit and heck, a way stronger champion is allowed to literally do the exact same thing
