Hencho1011 votesSo why your losing all of a sudden is a much harder question to answer! What i can help with though is how to improve on things that you're currently doing.
seems to be your main jungle right now, and that's awesome! He's one of my fav jgs out there! From what i see though, you seem to be playing him more assassin than anything else. A general rule of thumb that i found for kayn is that if the other team has at least 2 tanks/off tanks, Darkin form is the way to go, with the build of Blue Smite Warrior, Black Cleaver, Then tank items(especially Visage) + boots and as a last item Death's Dance. This lets you tank a shit ton with healing out the ass!
But if the other team is 90% squishy then Shadow Assassin is better for that case, with the build of Blue Smite Warrior, Duskblade, Mobi boots, Ghostblade, Edge Of Night, GA/Lord Dom. This gives you burst, and a LOT of it! It allows you to melt squishy targets as you have leathality and can 100-0 anyone in less than a second with a W-Q-AA.
Side note: If you play darkin, play tank! DO NOT go assassin darkin!!!! PLEASE DON'T!!! I see it so much, and it just hurts too see!
Seems to be the champ you play most, the biggest problem that i can see right off the bat is builds. From the looks of things, you just build the same things in the same order every game. You have to mix stuff up or things will not work out. As an example of this, you were facing a zed, and had no Zhonya's, so zed could just kill you as you were lacking in armor. If your facing a big burst AD assassin like Zed/Talon then rushing a Zhonya's or at least a Seeker's Armguard. If your having a hard time vs an AP assassin like LB/Kat/Ahri, then Maybe getting a Banshee's or Abyssal would help more. Just try and change your build/build path per game.
Hope I helped a bit :)

What should i be building against? the enemy mid laner or the enemy carry? When should i build these items? Also i feel like i would lose a lot of damage if i did start building things like zhonyas or abyssal earlier.
Hencho1011 votesIt does depend on what you need. If your having a hard time in lane or facing a bad match up, if you're in a good match up, then maybe you can build damage, if your fine, then you can build normally. But if you don't build defensively and you feed due to this, then losing out on the damage is worth not dying. And especially zhonya's, that item isn't a bad rush though. A lot of mages rush that with problem. But it's based on game/lane state really. I personally don't really play mid, but when i do i go over to a Karma mid, just because i can be defensive and don't feed. I may not get kills, but i don't die and i farm. I do well on Karma mid due to this, some times the best offense is the better defense

alright thank you. :) Also is there anything else i should know?
Hencho1011 votesThis just came to mind. Roaming as a mid laner. How much do you roam? A lot, a little, never? As someone like Ekko his ganks are REALLY good!!! If your behind in lane, then roaming around the map can be a great way to get back into the game! I use to be a 1 trick kat(pre rework) for mid, and i NEVER did poorly on her. Only because i could play safe, and roam around the map. Bot lane is your best friend for ganks, as they have 2 people and most likely some good CC. Just don't roam TO much or your enemy mid laner will push in your tower again and again and getting free farm
