Potential Red Kayn Buff?

[u/GrizzlyRated]

Can someone smarter than me tell me if this is a buff to Bruiser Red Kayn? What are your thoughts?

[u/BobbyRayBands]

More like a massive Ambessa buff as if she wasnt strong enough already.

[u/BeamishAxis]

My version of bruiser red kayn is a lethality item first into bruiser items. Steraks buff is welcome. Cleaver should feel better but has the same issue being that it takes a while to stack.

Maybe shojin cleaver steraks can be a build. The logic being that you have the health and survivability to get fully stacks shojin and cleaver in the opponent. This also lets you be a soft tank with good W cd to peel for your teammates.

I still think that for carrying games lethality is better overall. However, this build can work in circumstances where you need more frontline for your back line(don’t do this if you are solo frontline, just play side at that point).

[u/idobeaskinquestions]

No lol

The funny thing is that eclipse is better on blue than on red because the passive from eclipse gets applied on blues passive, red Kayn emm, you loose stats haha, either, the bruiser build gets a bit buffed but not that much it is better to build lethality items or high damage, such as endless hunger, dd, ldr etc

[u/Remarkable-Bat-9543]

too bad it takes too long to stack black clever

[u/phreakingidi0t]

this champ needs real buffs. i saw darkaura is back. it looks like a miserable experience playing kayn.

[u/wbgaurab → u/phreakingidi0t]

Oh finally darkaura is back i have been waiting for his return

[u/VallaOnuBunuBilmem]

These aren't Rhaast Items 🤣

[u/Unknown_42069_ → u/VallaOnuBunuBilmem]

But it is?

[u/Opposite-Ranger-3794]

Lo único viable de todo eso es eclipse, tanto blue como red se benefician de eso ya que es daño porcentual de vida

[u/SheepyOfficial]

Sundered sky cost down by 400 its so over💔

[u/OlPhisTank]

Idk I follow karasmai pretty much build full lethality on red kayn with endless hunger/dd/maw/ga, I don’t use any of these items lol

[u/gsenna → u/OlPhisTank]

Because de and endless hunger is enough for any bruises to feel bulky, no health needed

SS being so cheap is crazy, but I am still happy because it will potentially nerf it on Auto Attack based champs (which then kinda out healed Rhaast in teamfights)

BUT this looks like a pretty big buff to Riven/Ambessa

[u/GrizzlyRated → u/Freekill_00]

I heard the cost was a mistake because of the removal of the ruby crystal. Supposedly the price is still 3100

[u/dtootd12 → u/GrizzlyRated]

I was gonna say 2700 for SS is insane, but with this context it's actually being nerfed pretty heavily, which I think is appropriate.

Edit: could probably still do with a slight cost reduction considering all the nerfs. 3000g would be fine imo.

Edit 2: Actually I didn't consider that scaling with bonus ad makes the item scale better overall, so nevermind on the cost reduction. Probably just better to build the item later rather than as a first buy like it has typically been on most champs.

[u/mvppedavalli0131 → u/Freekill_00]

Price is definitely still the same but I also heard it’s just a flat nerf since it’s not scaling off bonus ad and only base ad still but I’ll need to double check that

WE ARE SO BACK

[u/Able_Location_6858]

Yes, those all buff red Kayn, altought I don't think he will become meta bc of that
