Kayn: the Yasuo of the jungle

Metal Janna··2 votes·978 views

One item spike? Check. ~6 dashes a fight? Check. Tanky enough that the enemy team doesn't bother trying to stop him from diving the backline? Check. Drain tanks without actually building any lifesteal? Check. Doesn't sacrifice damage for his mobility and can still 1v1 any member of the enemy team? Check.

Kayn is jungle Yasuo.

Every fucking champion in the game has a one-item spike. Your first completed item is always a spike unless it's completely fucking useless to build it.

You might as well add in "has base AD"

Either he's super fed or build fulltank.

Build Bramble Vest, lol. Or hey, maybe don't 1v1 a Bruiser who is supposed to beat you.

Has a the most garbage early game that you can abuse? Check.

Youre playing orianna support vs a kayn what are you gonna do to him tickle him? You've only got a poverty shield and your ult but really is that enough to protect you and your team?

HOLY SHIT you die so much wtF? Is that kayns fault too? lmao.

Your match history shows kayn being 7/10 10/12 4/6 meanwhile in the games that kayn was 11/7 15/5 you were the one with over 10 deaths. You can do so much by not dying that much. Stop dying to kayn and youll stop feeding kayn. Simple really.

https://i.ibb.co/jR11Wyr/image.png Yes, so easy to abuse his early game when he has so much mobility that he never has to take a fight that isn't in his favor. Just look at how often he dies!

Yes, just don't die. What useful advice. It's completely my fault when the wave is pushed up and Kayn gets an easy double. Not like the ADC controls the wave or anything. And it's definitely my fault when Kayn ignores my slows with his dashes and ults his way out of any CC I drop on him.

No. Kayn's kit is designed so that he has an answer to anything, just like Master Yi. Unless you have hard CC, Kayn's success or failure to gank depends entirely on his reactions to your play. Nothing you do is going to stop him unless he screws up. And if you do have hard CC? Well you'd better hope you can land it at greater than 550 range, because if he gets that close he'll just ult right over it.

Who on the Riot design team thought it was acceptable to make a champion with Yi's unpeelability and ALSO give him two escapes?
