Why Kayn needs a buff for early game

I just wanted to ask the community why Kayn is pretty bad early game because I look back at my footage and it might be just that i'm bad at him but i don't think I am and want to hear other thought about him. See when ever I play him I always play Rhaast when ever there is two or more tanks on the enemy team which is normally the comp meta right now so I have to usually have to go Rhasst. But whenever I just feel like it or if there are less tanks, I always win my games as Shadow Assassin because its damage is really well balanced. So I think that they need to buff Kayn's Rhaast side of tranformation and want to hear other people's opinions. Thank you and GLHF in the Rift!

He is nowhere near bad enough early game to require a buff. His kit let's him easily pick up kills if someone is over-extended and 1 kill is all he needs, then he turns into Rhaast and can kill almost anyone.

Only the best jungle duelists can deal with Rhaast and even then it's a skill matchup, in his favor, once he has duskblade and cleaver. He honestly might have nerfs soon.

Try building Spirit Visage and an armor item after your core. Then Rhaast essentially becomes a mobile drain tank with a wealth of %hp damage. No tank (or most bruisers) can duel him and no squishy can escape him.

Rhaast pretty much has everything you'd want in a jungler, at the small price of having a mediocre, but manageable, early game.

Yes Elkington but if he doesn't a good start then his late game isn't gonna be any better and that's where I'm coming from
