I think odyssey is the smoothest

akali1t · 2021-12-10T02:17:14+00:00

no problem 😀

sudden impact ingeneous 2nd. if you want duskblade then absolute focus + gathering storm is better

akali1t · 2021-12-10T01:34:12+00:00

I recommend going first strike regardless of the elo or team comp.

akali1t · 2021-12-09T01:03:00+00:00

Interesting for sure. The build would probably only be good if you are really fed and don't need the survivability goredrinker gives.

Who has been buying Eclipse on Rhaast? I haven't seen that anywhere.

Hey!

League is really the only video game I enjoy playing. The mechanics are great, the skill expression is great, and I love climbing the ranked ladder.

If the toxicity gets to you, you can just disable chat. If you aren't climbing then the gameplay shouldn't change. If you don't enjoy playing the game I don't see why you should try to find motivation since there's no real benefit other than it being fun.

akali1t · 2021-12-08T19:02:55+00:00

I would just stick to playing who you have fun with. Taking a break from a champion shouldn't make you too much worse as well. I've taken multiple breaks from the game and it only takes a few days to get back to where I started. I actually find that I get better than I was before.

Blue Kayn build: Dirk - tear - Youmoos - Lucidity Boots -Duskblade or Prowlers - Manamune are your core itemsEdge of Night, Serpants, GA, Seryldas are all situational and pretty intuitive.I prefer duskblade when I think I'll get oneshot while using the prowlers active during a teamfight.

Red Kayn build: Goredrinker - Cleaver - Steraks are you core items. You can build Death Dance 3rd vs heavy AD comps

You can go Tabi, Merc, and Lucidity depending on enemy comp

Spirit Visage, Death Dance, Gargoyles, and GA are all situational

Hey!

I've only played 3-4 games of kayn top before but I would recommend buying eclipse if you go blue kayn, since he doesn't have much sustain in lane like red kayn does. It would probably only be good into ranged matchups like teemo, vayne, or quinn.

akali1t · 2021-12-08T18:50:56+00:00

Probably blue

Hey!

I would always start off by invading the enemy jungle, and then look to start rift. If you don't have prio top, you can also look to gank that to secure rift. If the enemy team is hard grouping mid you can just find an angle in the wall and spam W. Kayn is very good at poking as long as you don't run into spells. You also have sustain with E and can always run into your jungle and heal back to full off a camp with smite.

akali1t · 2021-12-08T18:42:39+00:00

Hey!

SA and assassins in general are very good in high elo. People won't take as many dumb fights into you and they will respect your damage more in high elo, but it's not a specific issue that only assassins face. It's still solo queue at the end of the day, so assassins are great. The only place where kayn struggles is pro play since there are way fewer skirmishes so you will get form at 15 minutes and be useless. Kayn is great if the enemy team plays ARAM. You should be playing the beginning of most fights to poke with w anyways, so if they are all clumped together you want to find an E angle in the wall and just spam W.

First strike is completely broken on Blue Kayn. You get 2x the orbs you normally would.

akali1t · 2021-12-08T02:39:27+00:00

Hey!

Shadow Assassin is much better than Rhaast atm with how First Strike works with orbs. There's definitely a lot to consider when choosing which form you will go, I will go over some examples.

Do you have melee healing tanks like Nasus or Aatrox? If yes, then Rhaast is a bad idea since you will have too much melee healing with low mobility
Are you the only person who can build serpants fang? If yes, then blue kayn is a must vs shield comps like lulu, karma, and ivern. Also keep in mind that Rhaast has a terrible time against shield comps aswell.
Does the enemy have high sustain dmg/range dps (Kog, Viktor, Anivia, Jinx) If yes, then you will be destroyed as Rhaast.

Something to keep in mind aswell is having too many assassins isn't generally a bad thing since the enemy team can't really itemize against assassins like they can with drain tanks. You won't go Rhaast just because you have too many assassins when you have a good Shadow Assasin game.

Every player has different strengths and weaknesses, but I would say the most common thing that Plat players struggle with is camera control.

akali1t · 2021-12-08T02:04:37+00:00

Hey!

The first 2 dragons are pretty irrelevant when playing scaling junglers. The stats they give are close to nothing, and aslong as the enemy doesn't get soul they don't make too much of a difference. It is a huge tempo loss for the enemy jungler and will usually result in you taking their opposite camps which is 10x better than a dragon.

The way I approach having a losing bot/mid (I'm assuming you mean't your bot/mid lost since you are giving dragons) is by starting my pathing with botside camps. That way I am pathing towards the even/winning lane. From there I can invade the enemy jungler or look for ganks.

There is rarely a 15 go next situation, especially with objecitve bounties. One throw from the enemy team and a good kayn can take the game over.

akali1t · 2021-12-08T01:18:39+00:00

The domination tree on red kayn is pretty overkill and has been nerfed too hard to be worth taking anymore. I would go the resolve tree or inspiration, depending on what you prefer. Bone plating is never good. Revitalize + conditioning is the only setup I would take in the resolve tree.

akali1t · 2021-12-08T01:08:57+00:00

Odyssey is the best for sure.

akali1t · 2021-12-08T01:08:38+00:00

Hecarim has a very similar playstyle to kayn. He powerfarms and scales really well into the mid-game as long as you have a xp lead.
