is nobody going to mention the fact that in kayn's original q, the name was taken fully seriously in the tooltip?
"If a target struck by Chop was also hit by Swish or Swoosh..."
can you just imagine if the name stuck

I am the Shadow Assassin Kayn, who has bested the Darkin in the scythe I wield, and today, you shall yield to my secret move...
*SWISHU SWOOSHU CHOPPPPUUU*
*enemy gets OMAE WA SHINDEIRU'd*

7:15 Made it onto Yone! It's not exactly the same sure but I'm sure it came from that idea.

[DiamondCraft]

7:12 “Daniel mentioned there is a chance for the ability to come back” ahem ahem* cough cough* Yone 2020 cough cough

[shmitty_]

i want a minion champion that can hide in minion waves

[Felahliir]

The astral form would be a good addition to Shen as he becomes a spirit in the spirit realm.

Well now we already know where riot put kayn's early development idea of leaving his body behind and becoming a ghost as one of his abilities






(yone)

[animepfp]

Kayn, your scythe is small.
Wot? Swiggity swooty?

[Aguseze]

7:12

It came back on Yone's kit

[alimosaad]

6:39 guess what its here and yone uses that ability now

[nickolasdossantos]

I could see that whole "spirit leaving the body" thing working on a monk-like character, like a more spiritual/mage Lee Sin.

And the astro form has finally made its way into the game in Yone's kit

Rito: *releases this version of kayn instead the original kayn*

Jeremy: What kayn could have been.

Rito: Boi.

Tbh u have to give props to rito ... they are making lesser champions but they are unique in their way ... I rly like kayn and his playstyle and his arrogant behavior ... and now with the release of Ornn I think I will have 2 new champions to master now

[OutlawKingMistaJ]

Commenting from a future season 12 and Yone is a great example of 200 years

[QuatanoxXx]

the "leaving your body" ability is actually the same as Leoric's E from Heroes of the Storm

[willywanker]

What kayn could have been?





A Freakayn fidget spinner

[MantuxLTr]

They used the "astral form" on Yone's kit

[charchuuu]

Kayn in my opinion is a representation of the battle of depression, you having to fight a battle basically against yourself, winning if you are shadow assasin or having it overcome you, be all you are and "die" being rhaast. I think I'm being too deep. I'm gonna go now.

[AkenoNixx]

I actually like Kayn very much the way he is.

[ketchupacket]

Swiggity Swooty was his E. Makes sense.
