I think most of the reason Kayn is strong is because he has crazy easy wave clear as well as...
Unmatched mobility aside from
. We need more champions like this to be able to compete.

Kayn is supposed to be weak early before he gets his transformation. My gripe is that his Q deals bonus damage to monsters... so that his early weakness... really isn't one since his clear is so good. Almost every junglers struggle with raptors on their first clear. But Kayn just one-shots them. It's basically a free camp for him while all other junglers struggle, or at the very least spend a lot of time killing them.
He does no damage on ganks or 1v1s early, all he has is farm

2 of those are lightly mobile.

This is just a few that i can think of that have equal to or greater mobility than Kayn
kayn has 2 ways to clear walls. This is what i meant by that.
Ye ik. Just pointing out there are others that are better at doing the same thing, im this case mobility

Diana and Corki? Really? Aatrox? I'm surprised Ziggs isn't there, too.
Diana has no cooldown on her ult if she so much as lands a q and then ults to the moonlit target. Otherwise, Diana ult is on a 6 second cd with
,
, and
. Corki's W is on a 6.4 (40% of 16 = 9.6. 16-9.6 = 6.4) second cooldown with
and
, and with Package flies much further and has massive OOC movement speed. Aatrox Q is on a 3.3 second cd with
and
.
Edit: forgot to mention runes arent taken into account, so it may be lower in cases like diana, if they bring ultimate hat.
My biggest problem with Kayn is that he has an assassin form and a sustain form, but because of one specific item in the game (looking at you,
) and one specific rune ('sup, Dark Harvest), he still gets assassin damage anyway regardless of form, but his red form just becomes unkillable in 1v1 or 1v2 scenarios.
We need less mobility in kits.
Just cc kayn at the right times and its a win situation.
