I really like this one. Rhaast: "With the Ora you wield, we could destroy everything!" Kayn: "With all the stupid things you say, we could fill a library."
I love the shadow assassin odyssey kayn voiceline when he gets a kill "Did you see that Rhaast!? ...Rhaast?" It's funny but also kind of sad at the same time. Odyssey Kayn and Rhaast have some dang good voicelines
Yeh, Rhaast is the funniest Darkin guy. Aatrox just want to conquer everything, and he is super serious. Rhaast doesn't care, he have a human boyfriend and have fun.
I actually love that they made Kayn a cocky little shit-brat instead of the typical brooding angst boy. It makes him so much more of a fun character that he's just so sure of himself that he thinks "Yeah I could totally tame this accient all-powerful demon, Zed will think I'm so cool"
@@cayoticsgaming2328 I almost wanna get more into lol just for this guy. I was thinking start playing but... I know enough to avoid that, I'll stick to RU-vid for now
Rhaast is honestly the best part of Kayn. I love how over the top he is and My favorite line of his is when he respawns and says “Okay, that did not work” and “It’s all Rhaast now”
Rhaast being a vaguely horny cheeseball is also a huge part of what makes Kayn such a great character, and their interactions together are pure gold. Rhaast: What happened to us Kayn? We used to be so good together~ Kayn: I hate the way you say that.
Unlike anime characters that follow his trope, Kayn has amazing dialogues with his "inner demon". Their interractions are top-tier and even more so in the Odyssey skin
idk how this can be said when the comparison anime has naruto and kurama lol. im all for funny one liners between kayn and rhaast, but thats a crazy thing to say lol.
yes yes, it’s part of the reason why i like the champion in terms of character. their dynamic is also expanded upon in odyssey. i like to think that even though they’re trying to kill each other, they’re still friends and having fun with it yknow? like rhaast doesn’t completely hate kayn and vice versa
The thing I like the most about Kayn is that he is not an anti-hero. He is very much crazy and murderous and just the lesser of two evils when compared to Rhaast, making their interactions very entertaining.
@@KagamineNachy to a degree you’re right. But after reading the Shen/Zed/Jhin comic, he clearly cares for Zed as a father figure. When offered the chance to replace him he sides with his master.
Honestly i really like Kayn's design because similarly to Viego the game kind of lowkey makes fun of him for being that archetype. It is very explicit that he is essentially a child who cant fanthom the true dangers of his new toy, while also making him interesting because it makes a small argument that he shouldnt need to go to war and be trained and be in the order but that is just the life he NEEDS to follow, he is like a wild child. Also his dialogue with Rhaast is probably one of the best things in the game (something that also highlights how he is just a child stuck with a centuries old Darkin who would kill him at any point but also has to deal with him for now)
People conplain about why the f Kayn can go inside wall? And then why the f Pyke can get more gold with his ulti? And why the hell Neeko can copy other apperance? And why Sylas can steal ulti, and Viego, and the list go on.....
Kayn is *so* edgy to me that it delves into self parody without it being cheesy, especially with his Rhaast interactions and that's why I like the character so much
The sad thing about him is that he has a lot of voice lines that you will literally never hear in game because of bugs. You only get to hear like 10 of them and he repeats them all the time. It's been like this since he was released.
@@brazz1578 if you go to the special interactions video on skin spotlights, all those lines when he hits a melee or ranged champion have never been heard in game. A few others as well but that's a whole category of lines that just don't work.
Notably, Kayn is already an extremely powerful fighter without Rhaast, hence his being able to steal it on his own in the first place. Rhaast just pushes him further into god territory.
You know Riot games... No! The one who is in charge for creating skins in league confirmed that Kayn is getting a new skin this year? And it is not a fake information cuz it is in League of Legends' official RU-vid channel.
I feel like kayn is one of the characters with the greatest lore potential. Theres so many directions his story can take. He can beat rhaast and become the ultimate edge lord, or if rhaast wins this murder demon will unleash calamity all over the world. And then theres the in between routes in which they continue sharing one body. Then there's the development i REALLY want to see kayn interacting with the other Darkins. Its known that noxus will invade ionia again so i wanna see how that goes with him and there is also the possibility of him becoming involved with the void, since the darkin are connected to it. Man the possibilities are ENDLESS!!!
Even the duality of red and blue in his design plays into that edgy teen of duality, like wanting to be master of two world or having two different forms. I sure loved that trope as a teen, dunno about anyone else
Well, 3 designs was probably difficult to shove into a minute long video. Plus what is there to really say about Rhaast? He’s basically a slightly different Aatrox. Big red devil man who is evil.
There was a time when I'm anticipating a grade; whether it lines up with my opinion or not, I'm satisfied. Now with these emojis, I don't know why I even bother. Still love you and your channel.
Kayn is Sasuke and Ling from fmab in one character (and I really hope they do something with kayn and rhaast. maybe at some point they can work together like Ling Yao and greed... would love that)
There are now two champs got angry emojis grading, which are Kassadin and Kayn,does that means theyre in the same tier? I think Im starting to crack the emoji code...
What I like about Kayn is that he’s kind of an asshole as well as not taking himself (or Rhaast) too seriously. He’s not desperately seeking redemption, trying to be a hero or even conventionally broody the way Sasuke and other characters are. He makes jokes and banters with Rhaast and if he wins, he doesn’t become just Sephiroth with a scythe. Instead he sounds the same except drunk on power. Otherwise, your assessment is right on the money. Honestly, he puts me in mind of another, different kind of edgy hero - Malus Darkblade of the Warhammer franchise. A self serving anti-hero battling with a demon while trying to use its power for his own ends.
Thing about kayn is, in contrast to sasuke, that he is the god complex kind of edgy, ESPECIALLY in odyssey, an absolute maniacal fuck head and i love him. Meanwhile sasuke is the emo kind of edge which is... Kinda annoying if you ask me Also kayn's and rhaast's relationship to each other is just wonderful with all the banter
What I love about the emoji ranking system is that your opinion is almost entirely communicated through your tone of voice and your thesis, with a fun surprise at the end
Even though he's embodying a troupe, I still love Kayn dearly for providing me with my one wish of having a proper scythe wielder in league of legends. The extra banter between him and Rhaast, plus him being an absolute edgelord, is all a bonus I'm happy to take. Too bad the way his kit is designed makes the appearances of new skin releases for him like seeing a falling star.
Love all your analysis. But comparing Kayn to sasuke makes me wonder if you even read naruto xD. Kayn is cool and charming with confidence. Sasuke is just..well ... garbage.
I would actually love to see a universe in which Rhaast and Kayn just decide not to bother trying to win out over the other and it becomes a buddy cop movie all in a single character, lol.
People complained about the previous grading, they didn't like the fact that their favorite character got a low grading and their hated character got a higher one (Akali for example).
I love how Heartsteel Kayn Rhaast and Kayn aren't as much fighting as just flinging friendly banter on one another. And my personal favorite, sometimes when you make a long move command Rhaast will say "Do it." And Kayn answers with a "Do what?" Rhaast then yells "Take off your shirt Kayn!" And Kayn yells back "I am NOT taking off my shirt" Thing is, if you transform into the shadow assassin you do actually take off your shirt! And when Rhaast says the same line Kayn has had enough and yells "IT IS OFF ARE YOU HAPPY???!!"
