r/KaynMains

Been playing kayn only for a while and i've consistently received negative comments and ,,jungle diff'', and I can't but feel to agree with them, I really don't know what to do to improve

my biggest problem from all my sack of problems is finding ganks at the correct timings because every time I try to look for one bot is too near their tower, mid aswell, and i'm most likely too far from top, and I already completed my jungle clear, I feel insanely lost on what to do in those situations because I just always rotate back into jungle clearing like almost the whole game with no ganks on my belt because of no good opportunities, I've been watching karasmai videos and he always has the best opportunities to gank with his teammates and it feels so clean, but I never feel like I do, I just can't ever find a gank during most of the game yet my enemy jungler always has the opportunity and racks hella kills, eventually they'll just wipe the floor with us and take dragons, outdamage me and my teammates and we lose towers and the whole game

Kayn noob here.

When I loaded into this game I wanted blue since 3 enemy squishies, but I found it kind of impossible to get blue orbs because only one ranged enemy and I have Cait/Lux shoving them under tower all game.

Would you just go red this game?

I've finally made a spreadsheet that I'm very comfortable with!
Those are the 3 builds that I go for every game and they serve me very well (currently Master 600 LP EUW). Obviously, if your playstyle differs from mine it is absolutely fine to disagree. This is just what works for me and what I enjoy the most!
GL HF!

WHAT ABOUT BOOTS?

You should always buy boots based on the enemy team comp. Prioritize Mercs and Steelcaps, and if you don't need them then you can go for Gluttonous (Omnivamp).

WHY YOU SHOULD NOT BE BUYING THESE ITEMS

Steraks - It gives you mostly HP that you don't really care about as it's a Juggernaut item (Sett, Darius, Garen, Illaoi, Urgot), where Rhaast is a light fighter (Riven, Fiora, Ambessa). It's much better to prioritize Maw, but it can be good in some very niche scenarios (vs True Damage like Sett W, Garen R, Darius R etc.).

Visage - It's an item for tanks that rely on non-damage based healing (think Maokai Passive + Undending, Udyr Awaken W, Mundo P and R), where Rhaast has to deal damage in order to heal up. And with such aggressive AD scaling on your abilities (one of the best if not THE best ones in the game) you want to get as much AD as possible. That's why you buy Maw - it's basically a Magic Resist equivalent of Death's Dance. Also keep in mind that Maw gives you 10% Omnivamp on Shield proc FOR THE REST OF THE COMBAT (not 2 sec, not 5 sec, not 10, you can be fighting for 2 minutes and still benefit from that).

Eclipse - It's a conditional item that you have to play around, where Shojin gives you the initial HP that you need. It's not bad, it's just that it competes with better alternatives.

Voltaic - The build path is just atrocious. The item itself is not bad, but it also competes with better alternatives.

Any tank item - Just don't.

go ahead go wild gambling icons

after not caring about ranked ever i finally grinded for a bit and got to my newest peak! Elo hell here I come!

After all these days, i got one rhaast icon !!! this blue essence emporium is such a cool guy

Hello this is promised Kayn guide by me, sorry it took quite some time, but since its my first guide its hard to put my practice into words. Well here it is.

Runes:

I always run Dh>sudden>sixthsense>treasure>cashback>cosmic>double adaptive>scaling hp

this is no brainer i never change this no matter what

Pet:

If enemy team have burst assasin(Qyiana, aurora) go green pet otherwise go red one, blue pet is bait, you as Kayn rarely go around bushes anyway.

Build:

The standard build is Voltaic>Serpents>t2 boots>axiom>serylda/ldr/(mortal is also viable in some cases)>edge of night/ga

This setup is cheap make you spike sooner to compensate playing no form and allow you to beat enemy jungler in duel. On first recall you should get double sword/pickaxe. Dont fall for brutalizer bait its really bad item to rush you will be much better getting pickaxe and boots.

Just trust me on serpents its really cheap stat stick item and deals very good with shield users that are in almost every game like enchanters or mele champions that rely on shield yasuo/yone.

in 90% cases you rush Voltaic thats just no brainer, unless you are giga fed with big lead early then its possible to rush Hubris into Voltaic and skip Serpents entirely.

With Blue form you go lucidity or defensive boots.

On Rhaast never go lucidity boots always defensive or gluttonus.

Late game you can sell boots for Yommus.

Ignite>flash:

Many of you would ask why ignite over flash. Its because smite is better for early skirmishes and duels especially if you invade a lot like me, it also give you second option to insta ult someone if your smite is down. But there could be argument that flash could be better if you cant access enemy carry so easly.

Form:

With this setup you should comfortably play either of forms so you dont have to separate setups for each form differently. Blue is generally better for faster paced games where you need his mobility. Rhaast is good into shutdowning mele bruiser carries, but with this setup you should be also easily be able to oneshot enemy carry. Most important things is that you dont chase form. You can just farm and go for free ganks and fights. The longer game goes the more orbs you get. Dont chase the form keep up tempo, base Kayn is strong enough to be even with most junglers if you are even in gold and xp, especially if you run ignite, many of enemy players wont expect it. You should have form by 15 min. for example you hit Rhaast form at 12 min, you can wait 3 min till 15 mark to wait out blue form. But if you hit Rhaast at 15 min, just stick with him unless its really bad matchup for you.

If you have any questions i will answer you in comments

i couldn't imagine hitting nearly 350 lp master, never thought i would make it past 100 lp

Enough is enough. Riot Vanguard has turned a game we play into a constant battle against crashes, errors, invasiveness, and performance issues. Players are leaving, communities are frustrated, and Riot keeps ignoring it.

We are the community. We are the players. And without us, there is no League of Legends.
