How to play it

Bait his R
A good Kayn holds R until you ult: if he blows it on you first, you can turn the fight and win.
Invade early
Kayn is really weak early: start on his side and 3-4 camp invade with prio to deny his farm.
He one-shots late
Left alone he out-farms and out-scales you until he can completely one-shot you.
Never ult first: a good Kayn is holding his R for exactly that moment.
