Kayne's unreliable R

##Can someone tell me What the hell I have to do to activate Kayne's R?

There have been countless times when I'm playing him, I hit R multiple times, and it just won't work.

  1. Do I have to have damaged them within a specific period of time? Theres this little piece of art that shows up, a dotted line connecting me to target's I've damaged. I would think that would disappear if I've waited too long since damaging them...
  2. Can I get a better range indicator? there have been a lot of times I just "assume" they moved out of range, despite the fact that the range indicator (when you hover mouse over R) shows they are clearly still in range. I have also activated the power successfully when they were well out of range, and it should not have worked.
  3. Is there a cast time I don't know about? because there's no animation for it until After it starts working (you're already untargetable). If I'm getting disrupted somehow I'd like to know that.
  4. Maybe I'm not allowed to be moving while I use R? This one is a painfully simple possibility but is totally unintuitive. If I'm in range, and chasing an opponent to kill them, and I press R--shouldn't he just stop for a moment to cast?--nope, just keeps chasing.

I can't seem to pin it down. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?!?!?!?!?

I'd like to know when Kayne can use R, and when he can not. But the in-game indicators have me totally confused. I never know when I press that button whether something is actually going to happen or not.

From his ult:

PASSIVE: Whenever Kayn damages an enemy champion, he applies Umbral Trespass for 3.5 seconds.

This means after hitting a champion you have 3.5 seconds to ult them.

The range to activate is 550. But in shadow form it's 750.

Is there a cast time I don't know about?

Nope, it's instant.

You have to open up a wound for him to crawl into. That's seriously what he's doing.

its almost like you can hover over abilities and see what they do and the other person has direct quotes from the ability so the fuck are you talking about
