Just in time for the conclusion of the Order VS. Chaos event

He has sasuke signiture duck ass hair cut, it makes him look like such as edgy asshole.

Huh....honestly, when they said the next champion was a transforming one, this was NOT what I was expecting. But that's a good thing, because this is a much more interesting mechanic! lol Fitting that this champ comes out near the end of the Order vs. Chaos event. I see what they did there.

Anyway, the champ himself seems interesting. We finally have a scythe wielder AND a second Darkin! Potentially a third because I'm half-convinced Varus's corruption has to do with the Darkin too....I digress. While the character himself might be edgelord to the nth degree, I think he's got an interesting kit. We've never had someone who can ignore terrain like that before, and that possession ultimate seems kind of terrifying. Yet that could potentially screw him over, too - what's gonna stop the possessed enemy from walking back into his team and letting Kayn get murdered when he gets out? Gotta be careful with that. :P

I see a lot of people comparing him to Yasuo and while I agree there are some similarities, there are enough differences where I don't see Kayn causing the same amount of frustration. Whether or not he'll be broken on release or fair to balance remains to be seen but I'm looking forward to the new face on the rift. Might have to practice my jungle game a bit!

1 thing irks me very much.

Is it fair if he can literally just ignore terrains, complete with a damn speed boost and a potential slow immunity, so he can chase after targets like nobody's business? I mean, his E is literally Yi's R, but 10x better. What?

And really, why is champs' kit only getting bigger and bigger?

What if Kayn and Zed ults at the same time?

So...I'm really not liking his E. It's a cool ability, but I really don't look forward to dealing with it.

I don't see the counterplay to his ult. That's going to cause a lot of complaints.

As for his lore, is he apart of the same order of shadows as Zed? Or did the box originally belong to his clan? If this turns out to be Zed's son, I swear to god he's basically pulling all the Mary Sue check marks.

he's got a lot of abilities i wished were on different champions

i'm actually a little mad

Sexy :D
