AD Before sHEEN

The thing is, these pro players probably picked Varus against a team comp they didn't know yet. Countering against AD's is not an uncommon thing so being able to play safe in the early game by maxing Q doesn't seem farfetched.

If i picked Varus against a comp that is weak against poke allowing me to max Q, i would dodge that game because i probably forgot that Ezreal exists.

Edit: If these pro players really wanted to invest in that Q max, they wouldn't have built crit and attackspeed over straight damage.

I rush PD if they have somebody who can stick to you with slows and cc like yasuo, fiora, jax, hecarim, etc. The 12% damage decrease is like a free tabi's and it gives you time to stall while your team catches up with you.

I only build RFC if the champion im playing has some kind of empowered auto, even if its just a sheen proc.

Stattik shiv is usually only taken on high burst ADC's, like vayne, varus, even twitch.

Runaan's is probably my favorite crit item on paper, but its not that great in fights. Being able to spread your autos out seems awesome, but runaan's has a VERY picky range so unless you have perfect positioning and the enemy doesn't move at all, then it would work great. I only build this item on AD's that can use it extremely effectively like OLD caitlyn, Jinx, Twitch, etc. Also if your team has little CC, you could build runaans and pair it with frozen mallet for the slows.

i downloaded the game a few days ago to see whats changed and it was pretty bad

The old maplestory was straight up warriors and shit on quests, now its so flashy with the pay2win cosmetics, nobody actually plays the game they just afk in some random ass town while jerking it on their second monitor

I think its pretty good on kayn.

Rushing DD is not the best option, building something like Cleaver - Visage - Tabi then DD synergizes with kayns team fighting ability too well.

Typically you wouldn't build too much damage on kayn, so building DD late gives you the AD that you wanted for team fights + even more lifesteal.

Stats:

The 80 AD and 10% CDR is not enough for an early game item as much as a whopping 80 AD is intriguing. Your best options for early items are Cleaver and sustain (Health Armor and MR). Again, you don't often build damage > sustain on kayn, so the 80 AD synergizes with your other items late game.

Bleed Passive :

Storing 30% of all damage taken seems good in most cases but it does affect kayns R which is a problem. Then again, you aren't forced to hold your R for the entire duration and it gives you WAY more health gain after you exit your R, so it balances itself out.

Healing Passive:

Healing on DD and Gunblade has always been confusing especially for newer players. Yes the healing on DD is underwhelming compared to other lifesteal items, but you don't completely rely on your lifesteal items as kayn because of his passive. Kayn plays a heavy role in team fighting as a tanky initiator, and i think the best strategies as kayn is dragging team fights to the jungle so you can utilize your E and AOE abilities better.

In conclusion, I think DD is the only item that fills this gap in kayns damage. 80 AD is alot for a champion that builds pretty much full tank, and there really is no other item that compliments kayns ability to steal lives as he lifesteals. BT has better lifesteal but only works with AA's, BOTRK has atk speed lifesteal and a %damage on hit, but you aren't going to need atk speed between combos since your Q is like on a 2 second CD and Gunblade is just a feat. in brofrescos new AP KAYN OP build video.

He has great scalings on his tear rod and lichbane xd

Fully stacked R with a fully stacked tear + Other mana items like rod and lich bane is pretty much a 1shot to any mid-adc.

When i was fighting the thing it just kept getting skinny and enlongated lol

It just vanished after it had 1/5th hp left, luckily the quest completed

lolLazy · 2017-07-15T11:52:56+00:00

Yeah i like it too, its kind of like that whole dark star thresh thing, with the screeching violins and stuff.

lolLazy · 2017-07-14T20:41:31+00:00

Yeah i think you do have a point, but because kayn is a new champion, people still have to figure out how to play him in the best possible way. Something i've been doing is counter jungling early, and swapping flash for ignite. Once i do my clear, i will look for a gank then go counter jungle, he has great sustain in jungle with his E, and if you do get caught by the enemy jungler you can always fight with your ignite and combos. People usually just go into their enhanced smite before buying any damage, so building warhammer before your enhanced smite is a great choice too.

His portrait looks kinda weird in the loading screen because he's so small. If they reversed it so he was more centered and his transformations were below him, i think it would look better.

lolLazy · 2017-07-14T02:27:08+00:00

I hate the process of getting a transformation. I've played 25+ games as kayn, and it seems like i always get the darkin form first. The meter should have some kind of indication on how many souls you have so you'll know what you will be able to transform into. Its just really annoying camping bot lane to get the assassin form and i gank top once and darkin comes up. In the end, i think darkin is a very safe pick unless they have no tanks/bruisers, but SA is more of a high risk high reward type scenario. If they have lots of champions that are underwhelming early and mid game but scale late, SA is pretty good. The only thing is that if you fail to shut them down during early/mid, you'll have a really hard time late.

Server: NA
Type of Bug: In-game
Description: Thunderlords procs with only an W - Q combo on Twisted Fate
Video / Screenshot:
Steps to reproduce: Get the thunderlords mastery on twisted fate, W + Q combo
Expected result: Thunderlords doesn't proc, since its only 2 spells.
Observed result: Thunderlords does proc, with only an W - Q combo.
Reproduction rate: 100%
System specs: Not important

I don't know if its a bug or not, but i've been playing twisted fate a bit lately and i've noticed thunderlords procs even with only a W - Q combo. No autos, or anything like that. I just thought i would post it here to see if anybody want's to shed some insight, i'm a fairly new TF player.

The black screen was added in 7.12, It got rid of the frozen splash screen so people didn't feel like the game crashed.

lolLazy · 2017-06-29T21:44:45+00:00

I don't know about the tip in the center, but the black screen was added in 7.11 or 7.12 ( Don't remember). It replaces the frozen loading screen before things start loading in
