r/KaynMains

Been seeing this build on lolytics thought it be troll but it actually a decent build for kayn since he been in a struggling state as of lately. Hubris>volatic>dd/serylda>edge of night>ga. You can go either dark harvest or conq rune but you kinda go whatever you get first. I thought it was troll at first but it focuses on snowballing with the two lethality item mid game, but then you have some scaling power if your able to stack hubris nicely.

I really feel like kayn should be a hyper carry to compensate for the early game, red scales well but sometimes still lacks the damage to kill squishy and even tanks targets if youre not in the lead. Blue is really good if you have a big lead and youre agaisnt 5 squishies, but still is overshadowed by red and other assassins. Is this jst skill issue from my part and i cant build for shit or does any1 agree?

I been Rising up and down Diamond 2 and 4, but cant seem to make it to master anymore with this champ. I hit master before the tiamat changes but the champ now feel like he not strong or can not even compete with other junglers. Blue kayn falls off the planet at around 25-30 minutes. Full bruiser red kayn feels like he does not do enough damage or heal enough to really either carry a fight or be a good front line. He then just falls off compare to a lot of other bruiser at 30-35 minutes. I also have built full lethality red kayn which I think is the best build for this meta, but it very inconsistent relying on enemy team comp and the amount of cc they have. Should I just drop my champ for something that does his job better like shyvana, graves, wukong, khazix, or zac.

Also for the kayn main in or past diamond what you think of the champ right now and what are your guys build.

So , I'm a new Kayn main and im trying to learn how to play with him. I understand how his forms work and that each form needs different runes, however in my last 2 matches I was going for red (picked conqueror) , had to gank and just because of 1-2 good ganks (not kills) I got blue instead. What's the best thing to do? Wait the 4mins ? Is there a different build for kayn with coqueror and blue form and vice versa?

I've been playing Kayn for around a year on and off in lower elo, got from iron to gold in a season then back down to silver and kinda goes back and forth between the two using Kayn mainly. I normally always go rhaast cause I'm more comfortable with it and prefer to have a bit more survivability rather than getting hit by 1 form of cc and blowing up.

What is the recommended build for people in lower elo when they seem to be ahead or doing well yet their team is struggling a bit? Seems to be a theme over not all but definitely more than a handful of games where I am strong but just can't propel the team forward and end up falling behind the longer it goes as I get drained of resources and poor fights?

Obviously theres the normal melee/ranged decision and up to now thats what ive been deciding my form on. 3 melee i go red, 3 ranged i go blue. I do feel that there should be more to the decision though, like when deciding what form should i take into account my teams damage/tankiness/teamfighting capabilities and let that decide regardless of the enemy range? should it be a mix of both and if so how do you balance out what takes priority?

After a lot of testing, I realized that Blue Kayn has way more matchups than Red Kayn.

I said that because Red Kayn is good but only if you need a front line or they have HP sponges and juggernauts.

My memo for knowing which one is what the midlane is picking now. If he picks a mage I go blue every time and even with a Nocturne or Viego I don't lose matchups. If I went Red I would lose

If they have one fighter or assassin and two bruisers, I go Red (including the support. If it's a tank going Red is worth only if the jungle or Top is also a tank)

What are your thoughts ? I'm curious to know how others think about which Kayn to pick on the champ select

I've been looking through high elo kayn players and a lot of them are building LDR or mortal reminder instead of seryldas. Sometimes they're against teams with almost no health items and they still build LDR. Is LDR just always better than seryldas now?

So ADC’s getting magic resist for free now to combat mage bot lane domination. Blue Kayn’s passive is magic damage. How does this not affect Blue Kayn? Is it just alright bc the champ is doing fine for now? You guys think it will impact Kayn’s win rate at all? Magic pen boots on Shadow Assassin worth it now?

Hey guys! I'm currently in Silver and decided to OTP Kayn to climb. What is your recommendation for a backup pick when Kayn is banned or picked by the enemy team? And which counters should I ban? Should I only play Jungle, or is Top viable too? And how do you decide which form and build to go for each match? Any other tips are highly appreciated, thanks!

If Kayn is ever added into 2XKO, there is one hiccup:
Since Rhaast's VA passed away a few years ago, how would you feel if Riot hired a new VA or recycled Rhaast's lines?
