It's almost NEVER used, why does it even exist if people only use Darkin since it's SO DAMN STRONG?

If your vs a mage or adc than you are basically forced into SA. Unless you remain weak for 4 minutes...

I actually think Shadow assassin is better, I think Darkin takes longer to scale and, name any bruiser and it has a better earlygame than Kayn.

I think its strong because of the meta because the meta is tanks so in future meta shadow will be strong

it's really good option if u want to play with lethality does decent 1shot he can kill adc with just a q which is kinda ridiculous

SA is weaker than Darkin

You mean *SA is squishier and doesn't have CC

The damage is crazy high and doesn't even compare.

Then explain why Darkin practically 1-shots me with ult and SA typically dies even when they had the edge.

Darkin does %maxHP damage which makes him more effective against tankier targets. but his burst isnt as strong against squishies for this same reason. its why SA is stronger and bursts squishies instantly
