@Meddler, while the team is looking at fixes for kayn's interaction with items/proc

Since it has been confirmed that assassin's kayn's passive not interacting with items is something that is a bug that needs to be rectified there is other item/proc interactions (some not 100% confirmed) that need looking at.

From testing it has been confirmed that corrupting potion is the go to for lane kayn to increase his stack rate for his pre-transformation passive. It has been tested and confirmed that DFT has a similar interaction of increasing stack rate. Other items that have been tested and confirmed to give more orb stacks is tiamat and their hydra upgrades, protobelt (yes I know obviously not a good choice but it is no joke that everything was tested), thornmail drops one every hit, chilling smite drops 1, and challenging smite drops multiple for the dot. One item that could be an option for the darkin mode but has zero interaction to the point that I think it should be grouped as a a bugged item interaction is bami's/cinderhulk.

Thanks for the note. Have to passed this on to Zenon (gameplay designer on Kayn), he'll get it addressed from the sounds of it.

Is that part of a 7.15 fix or in the 7.16

Upvoted and commented for visibility, but still, you probably should submit a real bug report, not a simple board thread.

didn't know if it fell onto a bug or would be more of a QOL/buff gameplay request. Thinking again logically considering that they considered assassin mode passive not interacting with items/procs to be a bug you are right that it probably had a better home in a bug report post.

Nice thread. I will build bramble vest now.

bramble vest is a good item anyway, as it also marks anyone that AAs you for your ult, helping alot at agetting into the backline in a teamfight, while beeing cost efficient anyway. Just not sure if the same can be said about thornmail once you get fullgear.
