Also +1 on the Ionian Boots of Lucidity - especially for Blue Kayn. They have a 52% WR in almost 200k Games over the last 30 days - absoluteley viable Item!
Tbh Ionian is the only choice for Blue Kayn lol, the cdr powerspike it gives him is too valuable.
I'm wondering why you don't suggest taking Ionian Boots of Lucidity? I get that sustain and tenacity from Plated Steelcaps and mercury treads respectively are valuable, but you could probably out-sustain anyone with the cdr from lucidity.
Let me know what you think!
Thanks to the ability haste buff from gore at late game your build will have at least 90 Ability haste in the worst case scenario (105 typical), which means the raw stat from Ionian boot has a diminishing return value (5% skill reduction), to me is not as valuable as tenacity in the long run.
2) Kayn's two big weakness are getting kitted and getting focused on before he could deal damage/using Gore to life steal, tenacity helps with that.
3) The most common secondary rune on Kayn is Cosmic Insight since it reduces smite's cooldown from 90 to 76 second, that can help you getting 900 dmg smite before their jungler, buying lucid boot furthermore reduce it by a mere 7 seconds, but at that point you already have the fifth smite so the summoner spell's haste is not that much valuable.
Tenacity is hard to get in game, while any build will gives you a **** tons of ability haste, so I actually had a bias toward tenacity -w-.
I will update the guide to include the scenario when enemy team does not have hard cc.
