Why does Kayn need the ability to walk through walls?

Just played a ranked vs Kayn and it was so annoying how he can just walk through a wall when a fight doesnt go his way. I dont understand why a mechanic like that needs to be put in the game. At least with Talon you know he will go over in the direction he jumped and with Bard you can follow him. But Kayn can just wait to see what you're going to do first. As a volibear main this season it makes me sad the voli is pushed even farther down the tier list. When every new champion has a dash/self peel or built in wall hax. Like shouldn't we choose champions who have the ability to peel our carries? shouldn't champions have trade offs? instead of every carry/top/jung/mid having their own personal root/dash/wallhax.

I personally think abilities like Shadowstep and Assassins path are just high reward low risk abilities that aren't healthy for the game. I also don't understand why these abilities need to be on high damage assassins. It doesnt even matter if they are out of position, they have a get out of jail free card. Maybe instead of these abilities riot should just give them a dash or a charge system on those abilities.

Imo, it just isnt fun to play against when your only solution to follow up is flash. Rant over you can flame me now.

They're running out of ideas so they need ridiculous abilities to keep the game look appealing to new players.

if you hit kayn with any ability or attack you put him in combat. if he's in combat he cant wall walk for as long. we're talking about a 1-2 second wall walk if you're lucky. when not in combat kayn can wall walk for 10 or so seconds if he enters a wall. if he doesnt then he can waste the ability for roughly 5 seconds. its not that powerful and it takes up one of his damage ability options same as zed's shadow to provide a new approach to gameplay.

Your first mistake was not banning the new champion lol.

How is this any different from just any other champion dashing, blinking, etc over a wall?
