Kayne is more evidence that riot has a immense hatred for assassins.

Its kind of sad. Kaynes Shadow form is litterally just a shitty skirmisher/fighter with zero burst potential. his ult is PATHETIC. Rhaast form on the other hand is actually a fighter with actual modifications to his abilities to make him into an effective fighter. also, rhaast ult does SIGNIFICANTLY more dmg even to squishy targets because of the mod he gets. healing + max HP dmg compared to extra range and a reset on his passive...

Its sad really. i understand riot does not want to go back to burst assassins anytime soon, but atleast stop calling them assassins. Shadow kane is literally just a crappier version of Rhaast. basic attack reliant (because most of his dmg comes from his 3 second passive) WITHOUT the CC and WITHOUT the healing.

i beg you guys, STOP caving into the ADC community. they are allowed to stack def, on top of stacking life steal, on top of range, on top of stacking damage all at once and assassins cant ATLEAST be simple glass canon bursters? please... im so sick of seeing Draven or Twitch or Vayne L I T E R A L L Y 2-3 shot people (FROM STEALTH in the case of twitch and vayne) WHILE AT THE SAME TIME healing back their entire HP pool from those 3 AAs yet assassins constantly get shafted because we went glass canon zero survivability builds.

is that not disgusting logic? twitch and vayne are OK to 2 shot people from stealth while healing all of their HP back but melee assassins are forced into constant nerfs? Boy i cant wait to see what they do to eve with this current mindset of "assassins are just shittier versions of fighters/skirmishers" riot has.

yes this was a rant yes im an assassin main.

For some reason Riot thinks its good to rework and design future assassins so that solo farming adcs can beat them 1v1

Some people said to go crit on him as the bonus damage supposedly scales with it in a way.

Making it 2 or 1,5sec instead of 3 but with a better dmg ratio,could maybe make it better to go lethality and less good to go crit and AS.

I've been saying it since I saw the SA Kayn, go crit on him

makes much better use of the bonus damage passive than lethality will

The bonus damage is magic, why would it be good with lethality, at all?

Big Lincoln1 votes

cos most SA players build a lot of AD

lethality still compliments the physical damage you're doing

doesnt really change his problems. an adc will just fuck him while he is inside a wall.

they buff and nerf lethality constantly. lethality is still a overall nerf compared to what it use to be with flat armor pen reduction. takes 18 levels to get full effect and its ALL countered by item 1031 or item 3026 anyway, games usually dont last that long.

Rhaast is better vs high health targets because his Q/R deal % max HP damage

I was with you until you said Rhaast Ult does more damage to squishy targets...

Shadow assassin still has base damage on his ult, Rhaast does not and will do significantly less damage to squishy targets since its strictly %HP damage.

ADCs usually have around 2500 hp late game. so rhaast, just with 100 more bonus AD, will be doing 23% max HP, which is 575 dmg. another 100 bonus AD and its 900 dmg. Shadow kayne, with just 100 bonus AD, will do 560. with another 100 AD he will do 770.

PLEASE stop underestimating max health damage people... even on targets with a low health pool its still very effective as the percentage gets higher. its only bad early game when health is at its lowest on champions.
