I know he's only just been released, but what are your initial thoughts on him? Go wild :D

(I'd insert Kayn icon but it's not out on the boards yet)

I really want to mention, his E warning indication, you can (if you time it right) "not" have much of a warning indication but it's quite situational. I will say I haven't tested this out on PvP/custom whatnot but from what I've read, this "should" work.

Lets say you wanna go through a really big region of terrain (e.g. that huge block of terrain at top and bot), you can activate E and walk through normally but the warning indication will show for the full time. If you walk into the wall, and wait there, what you do is that you can wait until it nearly times out and go to the "thinner" portion of the wall for you to essentially blink out on the other side (similar to how flashing [or many other blinking] thick walls clip you over to the other side). You could half the warning time or even if you time it right get rid of it nearly entirely.

Again I haven't tested this out extensively but theoretically it should work. Can anyone confirm this?

His assassin form synergy with lethality items are just GODLY. item 3814 item 3147 item 3142 make him a real powerhouse with is transform passive and dishes out atomic proportions of damage that brings khazix to shame.

Kayn feels really weak right now vs actual meta champions and too much of an RNG because you can't control who you get a kill on and you get punished if you're in the wrong form really hard along with getting punished if you want the right form you have to be useless longer. He's a solid 4/10 right now

Kayn

Kayn is one of those feast/famine kind of champions that either get really fed early game and carry or does't get fed and become useless all game. He needs a little bit more love to survive.
