Considering how difficult Kai'sa is to pick up and play...

...please do not play her in ranked until you have at least Mastery lvl 3 on her.

Now, I know this goes for pretty much every new champ/VGU released, but I'd say it's even more prominent on Kai'sa. Not only is she weak right now, she is also on about the same difficulty level as Vayne, if not a bit harder than her.

You really have to understand the battlefield, and where you're standing with her. Yes, positioning is everything with every ADC, but with Kai'sa it's even more important, due to her VERY low range, and the way her Q and Ultimate works.

So, unless your in Diamond or above, please do not play her in ranked until you have a solid amount of games on her.

I just first timed her as support (everyone took everything else). Went 12-5-8 and hard carried. Hard to pick up indeed.

I ended my lane phase as ADC being 4/0, their Darius ended his lane phase 5/2. We lost that game because even at 80% crit with armor pen I couldn't even dent Darius. Maybe you know something I don't but I got fed as fuck and still lost.

i feel like a onhit build is best for her(like what varus kg build)

Her kit is kinda underpowered atm, no one truly knows what the right "efficient" build is for her since she is the first designed scaling hybrid assassin-style adc. They just recently buffed her on the mid-patch update, however, I dont think that will be enough. It's her passive that's the issue. It takes without W, 5 hits to proc it and even then, it does missing hp dmg, which means that a full hp champ wont take much from it. They either need to lower the stack amount to that of Jhin's autos (4), give it better scaling or a different function (max hp or current hp dmg). I'd honestly say making her passive have a AD ratio might help her out just a bit.

On-hit build works better than adc for her. My first game I played her in jg with bloodrazor gunblade rageblade, wit's end, ended 17/4/8 and an A+. Next game played her adc, building crit w/ runaan's, ended 6/1 and S- because opp team surrendered early. But jg build seemed much better and much more enjoyable on her.
