Why does Kayn have better cc than tanks?

Cloud273··1 votes·965 views

He gets a ranged aoe knockup on a basic ability (let that sink in for a sec). What's the point of playing tanks when Kayn does their job better? Hell, he can even build somewhat tanky and still do good damage to literally ANYONE he wants.

Red kayn, a bruiser with 1 aoe skillshot hard CC. Jax a bruiser with 1 aoe skillshot hard CC, Irelia a bruiser with 1 Aoe skillshot hard CC, Aatrox a bruiser with 1 (x3) aoe skillshot hard CC, and 1 Single target hard CC.

Nautilus A tank with 3 forms of hard CC 1 aoe 2 single target. Sion a tank with 2 forms of Aoe hard CC, Maokai a tank with 1 form of aoe CC and one single target CC, Alistar tank, 1 aoe hard CC 2 single target hard CC.

I could go on but i think my point has been made.

Is this a meme? He’s a frontline that’s damage is determined entirely by the enemy team. Not to mention it’s a HIGHLY telegraphed skillshot.

Hmm the only way kayn has any way of cc is red kayn. A frontline. What is the problem?

We don't balance his 2 forms separately. Try again.

Just because red kayn is the only one who gets it doesn't mean it isn't broken.

Just because a red form Kayn outplayed you with his W doesn't mean it IS broken ;)

Not broken. Have you ever played against a nautilus or alistar? Cc up the ying yang. Everyone has their place.
