Why Blue Kayn's W is a Champion!

Blue Kayn does not cast the W by himself, it is a shadow which casts it. This shadow seems to be considered a champion.

Yasuo's R also creates a temporary clone (the real Yasuo instantly blinks to the target, but the game creates a clone that "dashes" to the target to simulate movement). I wonder if it can do funny stuff too.

3 weeks later:
"How this KAYN SUPPORT reached MASTERS"

[sirerik]

What happens if you ping Hullbreaker while W is active?
It should display the champions that are too close

[perigin]

Does this mean a khazix q would deal less damage if timed right as it would stop Kayn being isolated, that could actually be very big for the matchup

[baxland]

It's not 'weridly' that Kayn gets gold from minion ones. The W clone is seperate entity coded as a champion.
Simlar stuff was happening when Wukong W clone killed a jungle camp (it got the gold, not Wukong - idk if its even fixed yet) and Yasuo R clone could pickup the Riftherald Eye
I assume this is same or very simlar case

[walvens]

Time to play Blue Kayn support!
Side note: does it stack the poke item with a hit between the W cast and it landing? Because it might just be that it disappears too early for one of them and not the other (and yes I'm only suggesting this because Riot code is garbage)

[leosiqueira]

The most relevant thing about this is that if the plates from the towers are breaked while W is being animated you lose half the gold from it( has happened to me as an ex-kayn OTP)

[roosevelt]

This reminds me how Lulu's fairy "pix" is also a champion and can also be killed - by only Ahri for some reason. She also gets the gold from the kill

[SLPiano]

Someone should make a video of all the clone interactions. I wonder who. Also, would khazix deal isolated damage to blue kayn during his W?🧐

[shiroamurha]

there was a bug that kayn's shadow steal half the gold of turret plates, with yasuo's R too

[spoopyghost]

what happens when u ping nearby champions with the hullbreaker after using his w?

[scottybassman]

This reminds me of an old Azir bug where his soldiers could farm invisible minions used to make Jayce's gate

[MerePebble]

Just loving the soundtracks you add to your videos. Good job there!

[lignox]

Honestly, it's good to know because Hullbreaker could be a thing if you want to use your mobility to end the game by splitpushing.

[hooknyou]

What about khazix isolation? Does it remove the isolation on kayn if he presses w?

[jaspervermeer]

I've forgotten what music that is, I need to find it now

[lzangi]

So does a well timed Kayn W stop Khazix]s isolate damage?

[googleodulluanketler]

If you get tower plates in your w, you share the money with your clone
Tested👍

[Darkwarrior]

Wait, so he’s not isolated when he casts W?

[OtherHarmony]

does this also reduce XP he gets from the minions that he kills? since it's considered a champ an all that
