Kayn is generally played as Jungle. The first objective is to read enemy jungle, counter-path and gank long lanes via walls. prioritize transformation above all else. Its biggest edge comes from unique mobility via walls, impregnable gank angles.
Kayn takes over in mid game: create local superiorities around objectives with vision/control of walls.
Kayn can be punished when weak before transformation and dependent on good form timing. A practical answer listed here is: Trace deep sentinels in its jungle to read its rotating walls.
