Anyone find Kayn annoying?

He's pretty popular and has been in a lot of my matches. He also does very well in most of those matches. Some bad spots here and there, but I'm assuming those people were new with him. His wall ganks (with the healing) are very annoying, along with his un-targetable ult. Then he just swooshes around with his scythe until he can either secure a kill or run off with his wall walking crap. At least Talon has a cool-down on both the skill and the wall he just hopped over. Why not give Kayn the same thing? Maybe that's not his biggest issue, or maybe people don't feel he's an issue at all. I'm just speaking from my experience and I personally find him to be annoying to play against. Let me know how you feel about this dude, or if you have any good tips I could use against him (solo q).

I find every champion with the button of death annoying (Veigar ult, syndra ult, malz ult... etc..)

All I can see is tons of damage + insane mobility + tankiness.

hes very annoying, but hes not op which is good. You just have to be verrrryyy aware of jungle pathing and your walls.

Maybe it's that along with me not warding the proper area. I'm still trying to figure out the best spots to ward to increase the likely hood of spotting a gank.

His base form is incredibly weak. If hes giving you trouble, its because you were having trouble in your lane to begin with.

His ganks aren't a 2v1, they are more like a 1.25 vs 1. On top of that, if your jungler counterganks. Kayn is going to get obliterated since he already E'd into the lane.

Sometimes he does well, this occurs almost exclusively when his teammates are winning anyways, it allows for him to mooch off their success, transform early, and snowball. Hes a fun champ to play, but he isn't very good.

He has a higher winrate in the top lane, rune paging and masterying as a pure tank. And just poking his enemy laner until he gets red form. Also allows him to skip jungle item and just rush straight into a Black Cleaver pure tank build.
