Why are Kayn's Stats so Low?

I took interest in maining Kayne just today, I heard he is VERY OP. But, when I went to look at his stats, He had NONE at all. At the same time, he is SUPER easy to play, which I guess is what makes him the game-ender. Please generously give your opinion---Does he have high stats in-game and if so, how is he overpowered?Kayn

Well, Kayn's Q for example is two parts of the same amount of damage so at max level it's not dealing 135 (+65% bonus AD), it's dealing 270 (+130% bonus AD) His W base is average but has nice scalings of 120% bonus AD His E heal scales with AD which is pretty up there considering he is to be built with as much AD as you can His R has okay base damage but the scaling is quite nice at 110%.

I don't see how his stats look bad...in fact for an assassin his stats are quite nice

It's because he transforms into an assassin or a bruiser. His kit also makes him incredibly fucking annoying for some junglers to deal with.

He seems weak until transformed though. You can easily abuse hom early.

Mind you I have only played a few games with him, but I think it comes out of the variance he has in his kit. At one point in a game he can either be another assassin or a bruiser/fighter. One does bonus magic attack and the other heals and deals damage based on health. So not only does the enemy team has to build properly with what the kayne might have in mind(which if they guess wrong can be hindering), but also his mobility allows him to be slippery in either case. So by my reasoning, having his stats so low early game gives the opposing team more time to build up on their builds and try to guess at which form he could be going for. Course I don't know anything in-depth about him so I could be wrong too.

wait until a real theory crafter plays and builds him then we will see what he is.
