I feel like Riot missed a huge opportunity for an amazing character, with Kayn

Here's what I think SHOULD have been:

Kayn is an assassin, and a very good one at that. There was only one problem: He was extremely lonely. Anyone that he befriended was soon killed, as to not let himself get caught. He couldn't trust anyone. But then he found Rhaast. A darkin scythe who would grant immeasurable power to the person who overcomes Rhaast's demonic power.

Kayn didn't even hesitate when he found him. He swiftly approached Rhaast and grabbed his hilt. The battle for Kayn's body began... Or so Rhaast thought. Kayn wasn't seeking power. He wasn't seeking vengeance. Or anything similar. These factors are what allow Rhaast to control his host. But, every time Kayn killed someone, he didn't feel like that at all. To Kayn, this was all a bonding experience. For, Kayn had finally found a friend. An evil friend who didn't really like him, but a friend regardless.

"You ready best buddy?" "Sod off" "The best."

"Hey Rhaast, we're friends right?" "No, we're not." "Aww, I love you too buddy."

After Rhaast finally managing to take over Kayn's love filled body: "That kid was a little creepy."

"Hm... He probably would have loved to kill that person

After Kayn transformed into the shadow assassin: "You ready to knock some heads best buddy? ...Rhaast...? You there? ...Oh no..."

I think the opportunity they missed was the female vampire with a scythe, it was confirmed that before the conception of a Darkin champ, they wanted to make a female vampire assassin jungler using a scythe, but they ignored the Idea, and that's why im disapointed with Kayn, because he's just so bland and stereotyped.

They just made Kayn the typica anime edgy character and didn't add any other characteristics to him they couldve done so much more to him to actually make him feel like a better character. Atleast they made Rhaast a better character than Kayn.

I dont mind kayn's character but i would rather they talk more about how kayn's body is slowly breaking down and how the battle of wills is exhausting both kayn and rhaast. Also kayn seems to be too much of an edgy %%%% to be lonely.

If you're trolling, nice.

If you're not...

It smells fanfic from 300 km away, and It is one of the most cliche anime personalities. Misunderstood lonely teenager boy that has some supernatural powers. It is like what a fan girl would write for his cute boy.

I find it even more cliche than our Kayn.

And as someone has said recently, why does every champion have to anything but evil?

Kayn is an amazing character.
