Kayn too safe

I feel that kayn is too safe and too strong at this point in time. There should be a window of vulnerability after he comes over a wall, perhaps a slight delay before attacking or an animation. Also he should have to commit when leaving a wall; often I see a kayn come out of his safety of the wall into a bad spot, and then up and change his mind. Mistakes like these should leave him open for attack for a few seconds. Between his legendary escape abilities and how he can enter someones body, do half their health, and heal off of it, it just seems that he is lacking a little bit of punishment.

if you damage kayn while he travels through a wall, he will have instantly only 1.5 sec of going through walls, then he pops out. so if he gets caught out, just damaage him,

Shadow Kayn: Ridiculously squishy Base Kayn: Not even good Rhaast: Your Dead...

I don't think safeness is something bad in a melee champion. No matter how safe he is, he needs to expose himself soon or later, since he needs to attack.

Rhaast is one of the few champions in this game who needs more than one rotation to kill anything.

SA Kayn is the only assassin in this game who needs to burn his escape in order to engage.

Kayn is so bad into most team comps it’s not even funny. Yeah, he can nope out if you aren’t paying attention to the loud and easily visabke marker on the wall he is in, but that’s on you. As for him not being punishable. Level 2-7 he is actually the weakest champion in the game. By a mile and a half. That is not an exaggeration.

If you let him free farm his weakest phase and get hard stomped by him, that’s your fault.

As for his forms both have sever weaknesses. Rhaast is hard countered by grevious wounds. Shadow assassin has a 3 second window to do damage, then he is worthless and goes back to being one of the weakest picks.

That’s it.

To put the shadow assassin one in perspective. An average game is about 25 minutes right now. Out of 10 seconds he has 3 where he is useful. Let’s say he got his transformation early af. So 6 minutes (will never happen) 19 minutes = 960 seconds. He is useful for 288 of them. If he is always using his passive off cooldown.

The champion is so fringe and has so many counterplay options he physically cannot be broken.

he is too safe but not for the reason you stated, hes too safe because it doesnt matter how bad he is early you can make him go 0/7 in the first 15 but all he needs to do is grab red form then boom, everything you did means absolutely nothing and he gets to come right back into the game after screwing up hard early on
