Help on Kayn

Hi I’m a kayn main since December of 2017 currently holding m7 idk how many points in kayn

This is the one champion i have truly put my time and effort but of course I am not the most perfect kayn player out there, ik there are ppl better than me and I will never be the best, but I want to be good with him,so I made this post to help me get better at him and rhaast

So my questions with Kayn

What is the best set of runes to take with him

I usually take these

Domination: Electrocute Sudden Impact Eyeball collection Ravenous hunter

Ppl say run dark harvest idk why I think electrocute is better but plz tell me why in some ways dark harvest is better

For secondary

Precision: Triumph and Legend: Tenacity I usually take this set on rhaast but lately I haven’t been winning games with it recently so suggestions on using this tree or how to utilize it will help

Sorcery: Celerity and Waterwalking I use this for both rhaast and kayn because it helps me roam a lot faster and get my form but idk if it’s worth taking due to the fact I don’t have any extra tankiness

Resolve: Chrysalis and Revitalize for rhaast due to the fact I get better healing/tankiness I have never run resolve on rhaast but should I give it a try

Inspiration: Magic Boots and Cosmic Insight I feel like this will help kayn and rhaast in terms of utility but not sure if o should be using tunes as utility or more health/ damage

For gameplay scenarios here are some problems I have playing kayn or jungle in general

Let’s say all my lanes are pushed up and I can’t get orbs that quickly because i can’t gank My only solution is fighting the jungler but what if the jungler is a good duelist like xin zhao or Warwick As regular kayn I can’t really do much can I? So should I just wait and counter gank or farm like it’s fucking FarmVille?

Hard matchups The champions I have had been trouble jungling against are these

I feel like khazix can snow ball better than kayn because he has that isolation bonus and lots of mobility early game

Nidalee I feel can just snowball better because her ganks seem better than mine same with khazix

Xin zhao almost the same reason he has better early game dueling/ganking/ farming

Hecarim He ganks faster which leads to him snowballing better

Hard matchups out of jungling phase

Garen how tf do I beat this guy he has a silence execute and consistent dmg and he’s super tanky ik rhaast is a tank slayer but I just feel super useless when fighting a garen

Akali she has a lot of dashes and a smoke screen that not lets me ult her should I just avoid her unless she has smoke screen down

Leblanc same reason as akali almost she just out maneuvers me in a lot of ways

What if one of my lanes end up feeding? Do I gank them by myself? What if mid lane can’t help because they are going bot while top is asking for assistance when they are lvl 8 and I’m lvl 8 and the enemy is lvl 11

My last question is what do I do when I’m behind?

Thank u for reading this of course any kayn tips will help me in the long run I just honestly want to get better at him and I have been REALLY rusty with him lately and just want to get out of that state

I am not the best at kayn, but i will send you this, as it may assist you in some manner

however, the idea of Dark harvest over electrocute is that after the nerf to it, there is more potential damage in DH and it scales better into the late game with stacks, which if you farm effectively, and snag cannon minion souls periodically, can be really strong, on junglers. https://youtu.be/ELbNZMVFCb0

I didn't read this because I'm not a Kayn main, but by the look of it you may want to go to the Kayn Mains Subreddit and ask them. They can probably help you a lot with this.

Tbh i usually always take Domination, sudden impact, eyeball & relentless hunter secondary celerity and water walking. He moves too fast through the jungle.
