Why EVERYONE Plays: Kayn | League of Legends

Several times throughout the past seven or so years he's been out for, Kayn has been one of the most popular junglers in the game. And even during times when he isn't he still commands a very respectable pick rate. So for today's episode of Why EVERYONE Plays, we'll be discussing Kayn.

nothing beats seeing this jungle-yuumi flank my squishies at a million movement speed, miss W and still 100 to 0 kill with Q+auto, getting duskblade untargetable before disappearing in the walls again and healing from that for some reason. and none of that even adresses his ultimate that answers the question "hey everyone hates master yi Q, can we make that again but on steroids?"

everytime i have a kayn on my team i swear he just feeds BUT ON THE ENEMY TEAM NOOOO HE IS A KILLING MACHINE

[devilkingaming]

I could live with kayn a lot more if the purple builds weren't so wildly effective.

You forgot to mention his W having a 90% decaying slow, and Rhaast still has that slow on top off the knock-up 😂🤦‍♂️

Even in Gold, Kayn is my permaban. Not because the champions I play can’t deal with him, (quite the contrary, I can deal with him quite well, ) but because I don’t trust my allies to not constantly overextend and hand him free kills, or at the very least free souls.

For some reason, after I take a couple months off League (which I do from time to time for my mental) Kayn is always the champion to bring me back. I don't even like jungle, but I just get this itch to play Kayn. Thanks for finally articulating why for me

The magic damage of blue Kayn is post mitigation, meaning armour already mitigates it once.

[Lin_Nascimento]

Kayn is powerful, broken sometimes, but I never hated going against him, I never wanted to dodge or sighed when one was on the enemy team

[Mars]

The trick to beating kayn imo is either goin a hypercarry that beats him early and outscales him late (bel, yi, etc) or goin someone that will give him the opposite orbs that he'd want for ur team (ie. U have a tanky team so u go kindred or graves so he gets blue)

[Alone-SF]

Kayn is just a safe pick, because if let's say you want to play a more standard jg, that just happens to get banned, go Kayn if nothing else comes into mind. Then when the game starts, you can just try to look what your team needs and do just that

[Space_Bones]

When I played League I looooved Kayn. You nailed it when you said Kayn’s freedom is a big reason he’s so popular. Speeding through the jungle in a straight fucking line will always be hilarious to me. I am also a fan of Robbie, his voice actor!

Its a testement to Vars' skill that I watch his videos despite having quit League years ago and any attempt to return results in unyielding rage

[turbulenttranquilities]

Do you plan to do a video covering mythics, their history, and why they are being ultimately removed from the game?

[milesedgeworth]

I remember trying league for the first time and playing Ahri, not long after that, Kayn was on rotation and I decided to try him out, I immediately knew jg was the role for me, heck I immediately knew league was for me.

Been following Vars for years now, needless to say I watched this whole video with a smile on my face. Now if only riot gave me more kayn skins.

[davidpavel]

This wasnt a why everyone plays Kayn video, this was just a kayn rant.

[Deranged_Duncan]

I'm not gonna lie, I can't bring myself to hate Kayn because he's just really fun to play.

[mahe]

My main problem with red kayn is his scaling, that guy can have like 300ad which is alright whatever, but that 300 ad translates to a TON of % MAX hp damage on his abilities which in turns means he heals for a gorillon.

[skylex]

I mastery 5 him in one week when he lauched but he was so weak early on, that i had the same feeling as that of kayle, that you are not a champion until trabsforming, kayle's range used to be 11 and kayn in 13 was a good game where i focused on ganking

I've picked him back recently and oh boy are the buffs are noticiable, you are indeed a champ before transforming, the transformation just accentuates how much of a champion you are

[SuperRitz]

Gonna give my own prediction before watching the video:

Because he is a character who can travel inside walls in a game where the amount of mobility you have determines if you are bottom or top tier.

[linaaalix]

they could never make me hate you kayn
