You could blue kayn into tank teams.

A fed blue Kayne does so ridiculously high damage he can assassinate everyone one all the same, including tanks, at the instant of contact in true 0 counterplay fashion.

If Riot is dumb enough to add YET ANOTHER percentage scaling to blue Kayn's damage (I say YET ANOTHER because HE ALREADY HAS IT), which I'm sure they'd do something stupid like that sooner or later anyway especially with the kind of damage meta deep end Riot is driving the game towards. I'll be officially quitting the game since clearly if it actually arrives to that point then the game simply can not be saved.

Correction. Blue kayn has no %hp damage. Rhaast does.

Blue Kayn can have %Hp damage if he gives up his % scaling off his own damage, the latter of which is already massive.

He can't just have both % scaling and enemy %HP damage, that's bunkers. Rhaast only have 1 of them for a reason (the thing that scales off his own damage is healing), similarly, Blue Kayn only has one of them for a reason (this goes for every other trade offs between the 2 forms).

Not to mention, Blue Kayn is already quite bunkers with his current % scaling is already borderline unbearable ( probably to do with Blue Kayn's ulti would reset his passive for a second proc, the passive that on 1 proc already does a shit ton of damage). I can't imagine if Riot actually goes and put %HP on top of that too.

You are an idiot, you don't know kayn and you don't play him.

Blue kayn gains no additional damage, his passive only converts damage to magic for some dumb reason.

Shadow AssassinSquare SHADOW ASSASSIN: Kayn deals 12% − 44% (based on level) of post-mitigation damage dealt against enemy champions as bonus magic damage, lasting for 3 seconds upon entering in combat with an enemy champion, refreshing after 8 seconds out-of-combat with them or by using Umbral Trespass Umbral Trespass.

I always read this as he's getting more damage.

It's not a conversion; it's bonus damage.

But you are correct in saying blue Kayn doesn't deal damage based on opponent's health.

(EDIT: Why is this post being upvoted? That info about " Blue kayn gains no additional damage" is flat out wrong, because he does)

Blue Kayn's passive makes his damage dealt against enemy champs grant him additional bonus magic damage scaling off the said damage dealt to enemy champs. In other words, "do damage and you'll do even more damage". So yes, he gains additional damage.

And since his passive lasts for a few seconds after impact, and the fact his passive refreshes on ulti, together with the fact the % scaling (I phrase it like that since it's not a conversion, given "do damage and you'll do even more damage". Maybe this causes some confusion where I seemed like I was saying Kayn does %HP damage or something, I wasn't) also scales with level to ensure relevance in late game, AND the mere fact his passive makes him do mixed damage and thus very hard to itemise against, all it make Blue Kayn do high damage to just about everyone and in most stages of the game.

A fed Blue Kayn can 1shot squishy characters so quickly and so unfairly it's not even funny, and he also has no issues 1shotting many tanky characters too even in later stages of the game.

To say Blue Kayn simply does no damage is false.

And putting even more damage, especially %HP damage on top of what Blue Kayn already is (where he already does self-scaling compounding damage given his passive), is just a massive overkill that would surely result in disaster.

.....

Also, don't name call if you can't at least make sure your info is absolutely correct. Otherwise it just makes you an idiot to call others stupid and proceed to supposedly counter them by presenting a wrong info yourself.

Um. No. Blue kayn is just more fun. Some people play for that.

You can pick blue kayn into a team of tank. If your team is either in need of an assassin or you're REALLY ahead, blue kayn is a good option. If he can literally two shot an adc with a mix of either q, w, aa or smite with item 3142 item 3147 and item 3134 (to go into item 3814), he will still deal a TON of damage to tanks, especially with his ultimate (that shouldn't even be used on squishy targets at all if you're good in your game). But you don't play Kayn, you wouldn't know.
