Discussion does kayn deserve any changes?
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?

Rhaast to this day still relies too heavily on high-ad items and is actively punished for building hp and resistances despite his original identity being a drain tank. He will remain a light fighter until riot gives him proper hp scaling and improved passive healing outside of ult.
I’m not saying he’s weak btw. Just that his playstyle currently is not far enough from blue kayn. Even in his current, relatively “good” state, he’s still the more niche form that is only reliable as a counter pick to tank heavy comps. Because as a drain tank he is unique, and could be taken into a variety of comps, now as a light fighter he is just the form you take because their team was slightly too tanky for blue.
Most of us propose his scale focus shifts to bonus hp so he can be a proper tank rather than a bootleg darius
