Am I the only one who thinks that Kayn/Rhaast doesn't… look like a champion?

I have nothing against him, he just seems… off, somehow. I feel like he doesn't look or feel like a League of Legends Champion. A friend put it like this: "the art and the effects and stuff feel so different from all the other champs before it"

I don't know, does anyone else agree with us? Can anyone explain it to me?

EDIT: I'm not even talking about his gameplay or abilities, and I'm not saying I'm not excited. His whole aesthetic just feels strange to me. Maybe it's the scythe.

He's a character from a generic Facebook advert for a poorly translated Korean game no one's ever heard of that'll probably steal your credit card.

Either that or an awful fan character ripped off Reddit.

So basically riot did a good job making something different?

TattersallJun 27, 20171 votes

Yes.

I'm not trying to say "what is this garbage, it doesn't belong in League," I'm just saying he feels strange.

Saying X is strange in league is like saying X pokemon looks like it belongs somewhere else.

There's so much versatility in the two games anything fits regardless. You could probably take any video game character and throw it into league and it'd fit.

Nothing about this champ is new or different. Kayn has not one single new or unique aspect that you can't point to someone else and say "They did/had that first"

I had the same thoughts about Zac when he was released, but this changed after some time. So you probably just need to get to play with/against this champ a bit and get used to him and he will become part of the League of Legend for you aswell ;)

I feel the same about every DLC smash character.

I do agree that he feels different,but in the end there'll be always a few champs who feel completely different from everyone else and thats not really a bad thing,because everyone has their personal tastes.

He looks like a bunch of traits and themes from other champs put together. For example, should Karthus have that Scythe instead?

he looks like edgy yasuo. tbh those two could have there own spin off jrpg with aatrox as the final boss

He looks like an anime character. He's really cool and all - but he seems like he'd be much more suited to a game like Diablo 3... Or Dota 2.

If we are gonna talk about this,many characters don't look like champions

TattersallJun 27, 20171 votes

I'm just used to the old ones and the new champs haven't given me this feeling before.

Milla JovovichJun 27, 20171 votes

Same with me,but many people will find new champions to be good/fun.

I think it's not champ related,it's more that the game lost that feeling.

I remember being so excited for Shen rework and new champion reveals,but now I don't care and I don't like any new stuff/champion.

I think I played too much to be excited anymore.

I usually get that feeling about new champs too. Dont put your mind into it, just give it a little bit of time and he'll start to fit in just fine.

He does seem different, and that would be partly due to it being a forced release when they weren't ready because of a leak

I was already very worried when they released Xayah/Rakan. Now, after seeing this horrible anime mess that is Kayn, I can confirm Riot has decided to go full generic anime.
