This Kayn guy is extremely underwhelming
Unless I'm missing something it feels like he genuinely does no damage at all
Is it just the recommended items? I honestly can't tell, I've played a game as Darkin and Shadow Assassin and it just feels stuffty. He doesn't really scale to keep up with anything and it's just blech overall. Plus I have to wait an extra 3 minutes to become Darkin? Why? The forget is this.
EDIT: Okay I've played about 5 games with Kayn which makes me an expert on him. I can properly articulate my thoughts now. He's just okay, he needs a very slight increase in the AD scaling on his abilities imo. I get that he's "feast or famine" but it's hard to feast when you hand us a dull knife and fork. I guess they were scared of overloading his numbers or something. Shadow Assassin is good for murdering ADCs but you're pretty much dead if their front line collapses in on you, but I guess that's the standard assassin gameplay. Darkin is good for suvivability vs bruisers but ur def not taking down any tanks with it and it's not a replacement for a front liner at all.
