So Kayn can just E and walk threw walls yet talon has a huge cd on hopping walls? Balance..

Really dont see how Kayn's E is balanced in any way. Can walk threw wall, movement speed buff, slow resistance, out of combat duration up, and wall healing... not seeing this being balanced.

Meanwhile talon can hop a wall in one direction after which the wall gets a huge cd before he can do it again.

Riot really just gives no F's to balancing their game anymore. [zombie-brand-facepalm]

We have no clue what the cooldown on e is. Talon has an extremely low cooldown on multiple uses. So sure kayn might me able to walk through the same wall faster but he probally wont be able to chain walls faster.

Precisely. The two abilities are both wall passing ones, but they function differently. Talon's ability allows him to roam better, while Kayn will mostly use his to set up a gank or start or escape a fight in the jungle.

Anything can be balanced by changes to numbers alone.

To be honest, don't look too bad. If you're crying about this, you're going to be crying about Evelynn's upcoming rework where she supposedly can actually move through walls and is perma stealthed.

I think the nerfing they should do is probably to his heals, did you see his ult heal in one of the demos? He basically went from 30% to 100% in a ult heal. That's absurd and will most likely be nerfed.

Ekko does it, and his probably scales off bonus ad

Balance is about a whole kit, not just one ability.

Let's pull up a more relevant point: "Darkin" is the kind of name I would have attached to a scythe (or Aatrox, but) when I was 11.

They could have done any other made-up word and they went with 'Darkin.'

I can imagine only one noise to properly encapsulate my madness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5016DVbtKz8

Nonetheless, let's refrain from talk of balance just yet. When Ivern first revealed, I asked around, got told he's easy to counter-jungle... and we see how that turned out, now, don't we.

Just glanced at their stream. At rank 1 with 30% CDR, the ability has at least a 16 second cooldown.

It's fine.
