Boosting his orbs or damage won't do anything when the champion is as unreliable as he is. I'm a jungle main, and I absolutely love Kayn as a concept and playstyle but something needs to be done about his minigame before he can even be considered a pro play viable champion. There are so many factors at play that determine what form you would want to take, and the fact that you can't guarentee a form at a certain time is ridiculous. For example, say you're playing versus Renekton, Ivern, Kassadin, Ezreal and Morgana. You'd obviously want shadow assassin to deal with Ezreal and Ivern right? Well, lets say your top laner was Riven, and she needed ganks to ensure she didn't get the croc c*ck. Well, your transformation to Shadow Assassin is going to be delayed until 15:00~, or you bite the Rhaast bullet and be useless while Ivern peels you.

This would literally solve almost every issue with the champion. He'd come online sooner in 90% of games, and he would be a more reliable pick, maybe even a reliable first pick in pro games because you could adapt to what they pick into you RELIABLY.

People in this thread are forgetting you can just stack your transformation from 0% to 99% on any champion and for the last bit get the orbs for the transformation you really want. You can camp the renekton lane for 10 minutes and then at the last 1% you gank their botlane and boom, blue kayn. It's still an awful mechanic, I can agree with that but it's not as horrendous as people are saying it is.

I changed this a few months ago. Damage to both champ types fill your 'violence' bar, but the one that filled it the most is chosen when you hit 100%.
