Kai'Sa is just a worse Vayne

Kai'Sa's Q, since it doesn't prioritize champions, isn't a good tool for harassing in lane. Vayne's Q is, especially combined with her W. Kai'Sa's risk factor doesn't have enough mitigation either. While Vayne can spam invisibility during her ult, Kai'Sa only gets 0.5 seconds of invis while basically front-lining. On top of that, Vayne's W proc's true damage and only takes 3 autos to do so. Kai'Sa's passive takes 5 autos to proc and deals magic damage, which can be reduced. Kai'sa's ult is also useless in anything other than a duel, while Vayne's ult can be used to duel or to teamfight. There is no reason to pick Kai'sa over Vayne in any situation, and I think that Kai'Sa will need some changes before she can become viable as the "High Risk High Reward" champion she was intended to be. A few changes I could suggest are:

-Make her Q prioritize champions -Increase her AA range -Increase her E invisibility duration -Make her Living Weapon passive upgrades easier to obtain

Of course not all of these at once, but applying some of these changes could really help Kai'sa become her own champion instead of just being a discount Vayne.

her q should only target champs if she has plasma on them

Almost like Kai'sa is not meant to be anything like Vayne and fills a totally different role.

Imma just say this: most pros are considering her a tad on the weaker side even, so it's not unlikely we're gonna see her buffed in the next few patches.

Kai'sa is a Vayne that takes no skill.

I supported 2 or 3 Kai'Sa players yesterday, and didn't drop a match. It's not super bad, but she's DEFINITELY well in line with her early game weakness. You can't expect much from her early on. After first back, it's a bit better.

Her Q needs to prioritize champs for sure (if they are affected by plasma maybe to not make it too faceroll?) and her ult either needs a more powerful effect (like maybe an added cc imunity?) or way less cd, also it should reset on kill/assists.

And her base range needs to be atleast 525.

With those buffs she would become playable, i think.

Kai'sa feels OP compared to other adcs.

Umm because it's meant for jungling there champ and wave clearing and your supposed to combo it with ult
