Suggestion for Improving Clarity on Kayn's meter from a PBE player.

Doozku··44 votes·2,090 views

Right now, the meter does not show you how much energy you have collected at all, unless you have fully completed the meter. I feel like Kayn player's should be able to see how much of a certain essence they harvested, so that they could plan their ganks in a way that allows them to get the form that they want faster.

The picture explains it all. The two sides are different colors and when they converge, the transformation screen appears. I believe that currently if one side wins, then it completely wipes out all of the progress on the other side, so that you have to farm more orbs of the opposite side or wait the 5 minutes if you want to transform to said side. I think that this design is fine, but they could also implement a system where how long the timer is, and how many orbs you need to farm, decreases depending on how powerful the minority side was in comparison to the majority side. If they were really close, maybe the timer would only be at 1 minute, where as if you only farmed ranged orbs, then you'd have to wait 7/10 minutes or some big number like that to get the Darkin form.

And yes, if you are wondering, I have posted a post like this on the PBE boards https://boards.pbe.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/champions-gameplay-feedback/Nezl4HaR-just-some-minor-complaintsquestionssuggestions-about-kayn-suggestion-on-improving-his-power-meter

Agreed, for a company that regularly makes changes based on clarity the soul orbs system really isn't obvious until its glowing and ready for a transform. Very unintuitive compared to something like Gnar's rage.

Also the tooltip for his passive is just terrible. Literally says something like, "Kayn and Rhaast are constantly in battle, One of them will win. Kayn likes fighting ranged and Rhaast likes fighting melees. Their forms do things. " That's literally it. Nothing about how you get "power" (there's literally no name for it because it's never mentioned in his tool-tip. It also doesn't mention that when the bar fills up and you get your choice of transformation, you can wait to choose the other one if you so desire. )

It also doesn't state that you must be back at the base starting area to transform.

I'm very certain that kayn doesn't lose his progress at all, and can keep damaging the other champion type to get the other form.

It has a cd of somewhere around 3:30 once one side wins.

You don't have to transform, you can still hunt your preferred target. You simply can't transform into the other until the timer is up.

I can see how that would be frustrating and as someone who can't wait for Kayn to come out I would 100% like to see this happen

It also doesn't state that the essence struggle is a load of bs and that his evolution is based solely on the last essence he gets before filling the meter, 99! blue 1% red? So long as you earned 0.01% red essence to get the 100% you get red evolve
