I literally don't see the need for blue kayns, you lose out on so much % damage + healing from your ultimate.
Like you can run Mobi + Ghostblade and there is absolute no need for Blue's bonus movement speed through terrain..
I see how "cool" the W range increase is, but if there's no bonus damage in W, why even enhance it in blue form? When obviously a knock up would do so much more. Both Kayn's delete squishies just as fast.
Mostly it gives extra burst to help kill squishy enemies like mages and marksmen. Though...it does seem irrelevant given how prevalent melee burst is, Rhaast may be preferred and practical.
If you do not go blue Kayn against more than 3 carries. You have no balls. Also you can move simultaneously using W. And you passive is a damage amp of r%%%%%ed proportions against squishy champs that amps ANY form of damn damage done. Duskblade, Shiv, Crit.
0 reaction time burst on squishies vs slow delayed death by 1000 cuts style on tanks
You realize how well he cuts through squishies right? His passive is so powerful.
Up to 40+% of physical damage is dealt as bonus magic damage.
He can 100-0 anyone but a tank/some bruisers.
He’s an assassin pick. Niche but good in those situations.
Your post simply says: I don't understand the difference between a fast aggressive assassin and a brawler.
Red Kayn has different counters than Blue.
Red won't 1 shot enchanters, or be able to deal with grievous wounds.
Blue WILL 1 shot enchanters/mages/adcs and there isn't much at all they can do about it, but is weak vs CC heavy omni resistance champs like tanks/juggernauts.
And yeah. He does need the movement speed through walls. Only on Shadow Assassin can you go through TWO walls, if you choose the right gap. And his appearance from a Blue wall allows him to get much further out in a lane than Red does.
