I played Kayn the first time last night.

Got fed, went Shadow Assassin because the only durable person on the enemy team that Rhaast would have been good against was Mega Gnar. Grabbed and in my build as well as and tried to build in the end. Ended the game with I think 17/4/? (can't remember assists). We lost.

My thoughts? He's more or less fine (course I haven't played Rhaast into a tanky team yet). He's a big snowballer that prefers ganking over farming and his only sustain early is his roaming/escape tool (which is pretty powerful if you don't get hit). Despite the early damage thanks to assassin passive, he feels like he has to stay in fights for a decent time to get kills. I think he's a skirmisher, so that makes sense. His Assassin W is pretty fun, dare I say I enjoy it more than the knock up version.

Kinda sucks in teamfights from my experience, though my experience of playing him was just one game as shadow assassin. Even so, that makes sense I guess since assassins aren't great teamfighters in the first place (are aren't supposed to be, that's why they fall off late because of grouping).

So I don't think Shadow Assassin is really weak. Rhaast might be too strong, idk he might need nerfs to some sustain. What are your thoughts on Shadow Assassin?
