How RIOT BROKE KAYN MID in under 4 Minutes (League of Legends)

[mahmoud]

Phylol the type of guy to walk in on his girl cheating and he says "sorry i came at a bad time"

[jujharbling]

phylol just wants every damage champ nerfed... besides adc

[ermahgerd]

The duskblade part is meant to work that way. Read the patch notes.

[SnugRae]

i feel like the deathfire part is a glitch but the part about his ult being able to use for a long time after isnt. It's like saying brand's passive procing the blue support item is a glitch

[coyoten]

DFT interactions are confirmed to be a bug that will be fixed next patch; the duskblade interaction was added intentionally as it was a bug that it didn't

[TheStranger]

The 7.15 hotfix made the assassin passive work on ALL damage, including duskblade. But every youtube I've seen so far have apperently been to dumb to realise that.

[Chalseu___]

DZK is fixing the interaction of Kayn passive so it doesn't load up as fast with DFT ... Rip lane kayn

[TheJul]

The wiki doesn't say anything about duskblade. But the patchnotes do mate why does nobody read the bug fixes...

[albertooliboni]

You actually didn't read the last patch notes, because they actually fixed the fact that before kayn ultimate did not apply duskblade passive

[jimknopf]

Hey Phylol, how much time do you need to produce 1 of these awesome videos...just a curious fan :D

[ThePhylol]

Pretty sure at least some of this is gonna get fixed and changed eventually but it works for now!

[thobserver]

I love this new style of video that you have been trying. I like the way you are presenting the information, and your chogath video was super informative. Keep it up!

[kaganp]

Caps was given the name "baby faker" by other pros and not himself

[MrCMaccc]

Some insight since I didn't see in in the comments. As a member of the Kayn Mains subreddit (30k mastery already shoot me) this HAS already been talked about and will be fixed in the next patch and was an unintentional thing. It also worked with Red buff and any other DOT effects but it is being changed to only apply on damage from abilities on the initial source of damage as well as on autos.
Fun fact however, late game Kayn has an undocumented thing that gives him more orbs. Unsure if it only applies to enemies higher level than you or is in game time based but just a PSA.

[eyesofthefox]

I think his kit actually favors a mid lane matchup the best of any other role. He has poke from a distance, a slow/knockup/escapes. His ability to go walk through walls gives him good roam potential. He's slippery enough to get into the backline pretty quick and blow up a marksman or support fairly easy.

[favourolowookere]

Stranger: phylol you're quite good at calculations...what course are you taking at uni?

Phylol: LOL 😜

[vsrobojoe]

this was exactly what they intended it is not a glitch. they specifically mentioned it in the patch as a reason why this works with cain really well as an item and they said that deathfire touch is a really good mastery build to run. i have been running deathfire touch on kayn since i started playing him in both jungle and mid and people thought i was an idiot for not going thunderlords

[mtavares]

Another fun little secret about kayn, thornmail will mark any target attacking you so you can ult them w/o needing to actually damage them first. Not a super effective strat but great if you're having a difficult time diving a fed adc

[CherryJuice]

Not to sound arrogant but I kinda figured Kayn wouldn't be bad mid anyhow. Love Talon, and his kit reminds me a little of his. W to waveclear + Poke, and it's a 3 hit combo with Q. Auto attacking after that gives orbs, where as Talon is rewarded with a bleed. E for flexible roams, and well R is more similar to a Zed ult if anything.

[GoryRageGaming]

Makes sense why dusk gets the increase damage from his passivr. Both Shadow and Dark form say damage to champions for their passive, not just ability or auto damage. So things like gunblade active should get the damage increase as well (haven't tested yet) which is pretty cool.
