Kayn and RP

SHINY LOTAD··1 votes·677 views

Hi there. I came straight to the suggestion forum directly after being severely destroyed in the game I just played. So it hasn't even been a day and I am more tilted than I ever was since I started playing League of Legends, which was almost one year ago now. This new champion is RIDICULOUS. I think the whole point of building full damage and burst (lethality, full AP, armor pen, whatEVER) is that you're a glass cannon. You deal a crap ton of damage in exchange for being alive for only 2 and a half seconds, but Kayn totally defeats the purpose of this and disrupts the balance between each champ. I can only have such a great early game when all of a sudden a fed, full lethality, slippery, yet somehow tanky, Kayn just ganks my lane (I was playing Miss Fortune) and destroys all the progress my support and I made early game. Not JUST gank by the way, but DIVES ME under my turret, WITH NO MINIONS of theirs under our turret, and he SUCCESSFULLY kills me, EVEN HEALTHIER AND WITH MORE HP, than when he initially ganked my lane! I understand that it's difficult to come up with fixes to bring champions back down to a reasonable stature, but PLEASE do something about Kayn building full damage but not giving up his sustain. In team fights, he literally strolls past all 4 of my team members, damages me to almost half my health, ults me, autos me, and then just meanders away like nothing ever happened while typing "adc in 2k17 lul." This was AFTER I built accordingly (Guardian Angel, Bloodthirster). Please. Take. Kayn. Down. A. Notch. P.S. chanting Can-dy Kayn. Can-dy Kayn! Can-dy Kayn!!

On another note, I noticed that there are no options to buy anything in the store for only 1 RP. I say this because on the rare occasions I buy RP, I always have some odd number of RP leftover, and being the nit-picky person that I am, this bothers me. I think it would be efficient for the players to be able to spend the rest of their RP on something so that no odd amount of RP is just sitting in our accounts. It's like staring at money we can't spend... Unless it's a ploy for us players to continually buy RP until it can somehow break even... I was thinking maybe have some sort of currency to exchange RP into IP? For example if I bought ten dollars worth of RP and I spent as much as I could but was still left with say, 49 RP, I cannot afford anything in the store, so I have no use for it anymore. To me, that feels like a waste of money, so instead, implementing an exchange system could help us players out! The rate should be up to you higher up people but as an example, 1 RP could be traded for 3 IP points. So the 49 RP that would just be sitting in my account could be traded for 147 IP (49x3 = 147)! It doesn't have to be exchanged for IP and could be traded for other things but it's just an idea.

Thanks for reading my essay for those of you who managed to read this entire thing...Anyway, CY@ on the rift, summoners (-:

Candy kayn seems like an excellent skin idea.

He seems tanky probably because of how much he's healing (likely chose Darkin form).

In which case: item 3123 is an 800 gold answer to that. Halve his healing for just 800 gold!

Or, item 3076, which will also reduce how much damage he heals (therefore reducing how much he's healing as well) while also reflecting damage from his autos back to him AND applying Grievous Wounds for 900 gold!

If he built full Lethality like you said, but was still tanky, either you were playing someone who doesn't deal damage or he went Darkin form and Death's Dance, in which case you buy one of those items super cheap and any time he tries to fight you from then on, he's suddenly extremely squishy.

Also, you say you built accordingly, but you didn't buy Death's Dance on MF. It'll turn 30% of his damage to you into a bleed and heal you for 15% of all physical damage you deal (in other words, press R for full health again from any health amount instantly because it's dealing like 1500-2000 per enemy hit and you're healing for 15% of that per enemy hit).

Ohhhhhhh well clearly I need to look over all the item options xD But if I'm playing an ADC, I figured that I would be one of the main damage dealers, and buying all items to deal with just Kayn, I feel like it would halve my damage output and just leave me in a not even a tank and not even an adc position. How can I deal a decent amount of damage to deal with the rest of the team, yet have enough sustain to live for one team fight? Also looking at my match history, you are correct!! The opposing Kayn built Death's Dance! Idk how to show you clips from that game and I just tried inserting a link to my match history but it wouldn't work )-:...My build was mostly damage to try and kill the rest of the team and being the not very knowledgable about League player I am, thought GA, Bloodthirster, and Cleaver would be enough sustain for Kayn. I'll try building Death's Dance along with Executioner's in the future and see if that helps.

can I see the replay of Kayn tower diving you? Riot made finding vids like that pretty easy just so you can back up that claim

Yes! How do I show you?.. D:

if you go into your match history (from the client) you can rewatch the game from there. There should be a record option while you're rewatching the match. Just skip ahead to the tower dive and record a clip of that.

The clip should be saved into your computer, under the LoL Replay folder. Just upload that clip to any video site, then you can just post the link here
