The interaction of DFT giving Kayn more orbs for a faster transformation is being removed next patch, the person who made Kayn said so. Also removing the interaction between corrupting potion giving him more orbs as well. This kills lane Kayn.
Zane Zephyr3 votesKayn was never meant to be a laner sooo...
Chibi Bronzlife3 votesNo one said he couldn't be a laner. It can still work, people just have to try harder to get the orbs now.
Pyrithegethon5 votesBlitzcrank was never meant to be a support sooo...
Nautilus was never meant to be a support sooo...
Slythion1 votesHey, remember when Nidalee was supposed to be a laner? haaaa
Divewing1 votesSorry that I wanted to take a badass champion out of the over-powered, game-dictating, cesspool that is the jungle.
Shuyin1781 votesThe thing I hate about the community is that they try taking everything jungle or support when they are designed to be anywhere else. Like fucking play the champions where they are designed to play and stop making it so Riot has to nerf them out of whatever extra role players are throwing them into. (this is just a personal complaint about the game, not your comment)
SpelingMistakee1 voteswait what does this mean.. ik im dumb but explain it in full words so i understand D:
Divewing1 votesKayn's transformation is gated behind collecting souls (orbs) that drop when he deals any damage to an enemy champion.
AS OF LIVE, this includes the Damage Over Time from Deathfire Touch and Corrupting potion, dropping 1 soul per tick of damage.
This effectively means a Kayn player can hit an enemy champion once with corrupting potion up, and get 2-4 times the number of souls he otherwise would have. This in turn means he unlocks his transformation earlier, and as such, his full potential.
Riot recently became aware of this (likely due to this being used to great effect in the EU LCS), and have decided to remove the interaction, as it is in fact unintended, and is a bug, rather than a feature.
This is lame cos it gives Lane-Kayn the dick.

Ok ty <33333
hhaavviikk1 votesgood, now if they would just make him gain orbs faster in general than this would be great, frankly I don't want to feel forced into DFT and corruption potion just for my transformation
DatShunporina1 votesThey remove interaction because they don't want you to be forced to go DFT corrupting potion to be efficient in lane
If he needs some love after this bugfix because he can't generate orbs enough faster in lane they will go for it
AmazoX1 votesI didn't even know this was a thing.
