r/KaynMains

In the video it’s shown that this rune with black cleaver insta procs eclipse.

So I was thinking maybe new meta on red Kayn could become eclipse into black cleaver with this rune.

What do you guys think, this over conqueror possibly?

Hey everyone I'm just curious what are some good build top builds because for kayn. I normally play jungle so I go lethality kayn by default in jungle but I feel that top is so much different gameplay. What do you all normally build on top ?

So they changed volatic for no reason other than ADHD devs got bored and now it doesn't really work for red kayn.

I need that leathality for a decent clear. Building eclipse makes kayns clear speed digustlying slow.

What else could I build?

Does anyone else feel like it’s weird that Kayn doesn't get his ult CD refreshed (or at least shortened) when he transforms?

It happens so often: you take a big fight over a dragon or a gank to finally get your form, but you have to use R to secure the kill or stay alive. You back, get your form, and you’re hyped to finally be a real champion—only to realize you’re stuck farming for the next 2 minutes because your ult is on a massive cooldown.

It feels like you can’t even capitalize on your biggest power spike. Since they removed the homeguards we used to get on transformation, it feels like the "evolution" moment is kind of clunky now.

If Khazix or Bel’Veth get to use their spikes immediately, why does Kayn have to sit on his hands? Even a 50% refund would be enough to not feel like a minion right after backing.

Thoughts? Or would this just be too broken for snowballing?

Hello community

I'm curious which skin you prefer, which one you like the most and which one is definitely worth buying (in all aspects of the design)

Please vote, it will help me decide :)

I personally own Snow Moon

Thaaaank you! 🙏🏻

what the title says, I know that Kayn has been suffering as of late, but from what exactly?

Just curious to what the masses think really. Currently plat3 with 62% win rate on Kayn. Still looking to improve om my pathing and map awareness.

I’m currently working on a tool to end the Red or Blue debate during loading screens. I call it the Kayn Oracle.

Basically, it looks at the enemy comp’s durability, range, and CC to give a confidence score for each form. It’s still an early version tho.

Quick breakdown of the screenshot: It’s giving me 83% Blue because the enemy team is full of squishies (Jinx, Lux, Hwei), which is basically a playground for Shadow Assassin.

But here’s the cool part: Even though the score is high for Blue, the analysis box warns me about the high CC chain. It’s like a second brain telling me: "Yeah, you can one-shot them, but if Lux hits one Q, you're done."

I’m still fine-tuning the weights (especially for the annoying stuff like Teemo/Shaco).

What do you guys think?

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:

1. 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
2. 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)
3. 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

ngl, I don't really play Kayn, but I locked in and OMG, it was amazing!

I'm not a Kayn expert, but I feel like the new voltaic and omnivamp boots will be incredibly strong for both forms.
