Shadow and Rhaast Kayn forms and the flame Shadow Assassin receives

I have noticed a huge issue in the community players. Kayn is a pretty versatile champion and offers a lot to a team comp but Rhaast is the only form I see people be able to play without getting flamed out by someone in the match. I understand that yeah he is a high damage bruiser with a knock up but why does that warrant people getting flamed for going Shadow Assassin? Assassin players exist within the game because they like being highly mobile squishy characters who aim for the backline to ultimately shut down the Adc or Mage. Even in matches where the team is four squishies and one bruiser I see Shadow Assassin Kayn's get flamed. What is with all the hate on Shadow Assassin in general? There shouldn't be this much hate on someone liking one thing more than the other or preferring the playstyle difference of Rhaast and Shadow Assassin.

Long as you don’t go shadow when the enemy team only has 1 squishy. If you do that expect your teammates to not be happy if its ranked.

Rhaast has a much flatter skill expression. You don't need to be ahead or to outplay your opponents. You can literally walk into a team fight and take a shitload of damage, as long as you get your ultimate off before you die, you and your teammates are very likely to at least trade a kill for your life.

If you're not ahead with Shadow Assassin Kayn, you need to catch a squishy alone with less than half health, and even then, it's 50 / 50 at best that you can even kill them,.. which is pretty much his whole job.
