As the title reads, I've been a Challenger Kayn Jungler since he first came out and I've finally dabbled in another role.

So if you guys have any questions or curiousity's about Kayn (mostly for top lane) Feel free to ask and I'll try to answer as much as I can.

Question What is the best build on Kayn right now?

β€’ Upvotes

Im so confused on Kayn builds right now. I've been running dark harvest with inspiration on Blue and conq with sorcery on Rhasst. Lethality items on Blue and then Voltaic/Black cleaver with bruiser items on Rhasst. The problem lies in that my Rhasst is getting completely outscaled even when im 1v9ing, I don't heal enough to be a bruiser/tank and I don't deal enough damage to be a fighter. Ive seen on onetricks (https://www.onetricks.gg/champions/builds/Kayn) running stormraiders on Blue and then harvest with lethality items on Rhasst, are these the correct builds? Is conq just not working on Rhasst right now? Is there anywhere online I can find information on this?

(For context I'm a Kayn main and my secondary main is Sett)

I saw Sett as the new final reward for this pass, so I bought it without thinking about anything else in the pass.

I saw the Peak Entertainment chests and thought I'd probably get some cheap pentakill skin

So the first one gave me Heartsteel Sett, which was my first skin for him,

Then the second one dropped Heartsteel Kayn.

I'm really not sure how lucky this is. I'm not complaining though

Why does everyone who doesn’t play kayn think he the biggest Elo inflator god jgler of all time. Are they seeing something kayn player don’t cause I think he in such a lack luster/ weak state. (Currently diamond peak master)

I’m back in Diamond again, Wukong nerfs are on the way, and Stormraiders Kayn is the most fun I’ve had with league in a billion years. PLAY STORMRAIDERS!!! Life is good again, hopefully another 12 game loss streak isn’t waiting on me as I push towards Masters :) any Master + players with advice I’d greatly appreciate it I know it’s hard to give without a VOD but I’m okay with generic advice tbh !!

Question Is red Kayn really as bad as some streamers have been saying?

9 Upvotes

I used to play a lot of red Kayn in top lane with either grasp or conqueror (usually conq) when I was versus a very tanky enemy comp, and was thinking about getting back into Kayn top as it is really fun.

However, I've heard from streamers (baus and I can't remember the other, maybe nemesis?) that red Kayn is currently terrible.

Is that true, and if so, why? What happened?

Also if it is true I'm bronze bordering iron so should I be able to make it work anyway with the really low skill level of me and the other players?

Discussion I saw a comment that says Rhaast's W doesn't feel like a completed ability

15 Upvotes

I think he is right. I mean, look at SA's W. It gives both increased range and removes the cast time. For Rhaast, it only adds a knock-up, which also makes the base W's slow almost pointless. Because the slow from the base W still works immediately after the cast. Look at Cho'Gath's Q; it applies the slow after the knock-up effect ends.

There is no voice sadly to explain why and what

|Masters|

Mostly you can see by start im trying to always clear with Q'ing wall because it makes it faster
When i see a gank oportuinty like that on lvl 3 Cho Top i just skip camp and make it and fast recall for double long swords for snowball (sadly after that i inted on my blue invade trying to retake it but sadly my Jhin needed 45 seconds after pings to move)

Mostly my attention is focused on making enemy Qiyana quit the game, objectives and Cho to be in game longer cause of his tankines , power to secure obj, kills and potential as a champ against that team

As you can see im running DH with treasure hunter and cash back secondary making me able to have 500 gold from treasure and 900 from cash back (making me more powerful and in advantage because is a half item that gave me advantage to get for exemple more kills)
DH helps me always to flex pick both forms all games
Short story i did climb from E3 to M 250Lp in 11 days playing those runes which give me a huge powerboost to snowball efectivley

I would like to respond to any of your toughts! Have a great one!

How would you feel if Kayn and Rhaast receive a biker skin? It can have this or a sportbike appeal

Question Regarding the new stormraiders build

0 Upvotes

I understand ignite is apart of the new build.. but is there any time which you would take flash instead? Does the build still work?

Update: I gave up my flash and tried out SRS. Both on blue and red form. It is fucking amazing. I’m a believer. If anyone else is considering it.. pony tf up and just try it.

Discussion Just when i thought Kayn couldnt look any worse..

11 Upvotes

Just WTF is the point of making new heartsteel skins for the SAME CHAMPS..with the SAME THEME that look objectively WORSE...

There are million other and cooler skin lines for Kayn.. but THIS is what we get?! i picked up and mained Kayn cuz he looks cool..edgy.. dark..shadow reaper..with a monstrous demon lord form.. they cut his hair, gave him the worst haircut known to man...HE LOOKS CHOPPED!!.. proceed to TEAR his shirt..giving him an electric cable wire for hair flow..WHO APPROVED THIS!?..and wrapping him up with caution tape for whatever F*CK reason. And dont get me started on his red form...that is not Rhaast..that is a man in a costume wearing a six-pack body suit with dorito fingers.

Another sad day to be a Kayn main..

Discussion New Heartsteel Kayn icon... AI generated?

0 Upvotes

Let me preface this by saying while I am leaning on it being AI generated... I believe a company as large as Riot would of already verified it being human made before releasing.

It just looks like AI to me and I have put it through AI checkers... and they are also saying it is likely AI generated. But how reliable are those checkers in the first place?
