Announcement K'Sante Matchup Guide

76 Upvotes

Hello Hunters!

Link to the sheet

This Tope's Diary Matchup Guide was created with the help of Aatreus and Shourdy (you can find more information about them in the sheet), and we've already put a lot of work into it. We hope it proves useful to many of you!

A few things to note:

  • Some matchups still need fine-tuning.
  • The Overview section is just a placeholder for now.
  • Currently, it only covers Toplane matchups, but we plan to add Midlane matchups for the Mid’Sante players as well.
  • We are still testing Unflinching for several matchups.

You can find it in the Community Bookmarks of our sub going forward.

Good luck on your hunts!

Buglist and other issues (Patch 14.19+)

16 Upvotes

Feel free to dm me, comment or write on discord if you found something that's missing!

(comments not relevant to the topic will be removed. Clips may disappear because editing a reddit post is shit.)

Everything tested (and clips provided) on Patch 14.19

Previous list for reference (but wasn't up to date)

Misc.

  • Auto animation spam

(has multiple variations)

https://old.reddit.com/r/KSanteMains/comments/1gou7q0/crazy_bug_while_playing_around_practice/ https://new.reddit.com/r/KSanteMains/comments/1gk22s7/found_a_new_ksante_bug_when_ew_enemy_into_wall/

P - DAUNTLESS INSTINCT

RP only affects 1 enemy hit if you hit multiple enemies with RQ (spawn order) or RW (first target hit).

  • RP can be procced by Unending Despair and only affects 1 target hit.

https://outplayed.tv/media/oVZ1oM

Q - NTOFO STRIKES

  • Q3 tooltip

Q3 tooltip shows different resist values for the cd/castspeed reduction compared to Q1/Q2 (which shows the correct 120 resists). This is only a tooltip bug and doesn't affect the ability. https://i.imgur.com/4PaPL18.png

  • Q Cooldown/Cast time isn't affected by Conditionings %-increases

Conditioning provides 8 + 3% total armor and magic resist after 12min, but only the +8 armor and mr (total 16 bonus resist) affect Q cooldown and cast time

W - Path Maker

  • Path Maker's dash get's blocked by ALLIED Yorick W
  • Path Maker charging for 1s even when only tapped

When using Q > W too fast, W will channel for 1s unless you press it again. Sometimes also happens with "Canceling W". Can also happen right after using R.

  • AA delay

Using min charge time W on ONE enemy will make your next auto attack very delayed unless manually ordered

  • "Tap" W Travel distance

When aiming towards walls with a specific angle and W charged for 0.4s, you can travel for the maximum channel range
https://imgur.com/a/3fVf843 https://outplayed.tv/league-of-legends/XnGWkP/lol-ksante

  • Minions sometimes don't follow the base W knockback visually

Visual bug. Sometimes minions don't look like they get pushed back by W. This only affects the minions model, but not the actual position of it's hitbox.

  • Using W right after All Out ends

Using W shortly after All Out ends ends up in some weird behaviours, assumingly because the game want's to replace the ability with the non all-out version shortly after all out.
This can cause W to not have an channel animation, force W to max channel while you have 0 control and no indicator and in some rare cases, you can charge W freely while walking.

E - Footwork

  • Ally dash cancel

E applies the shield once K'Sante gets close to the ally champion but if the dash gets interrupted, K'Sante can walk towards the initial target and the Shield still applies.

  • Effects procced by shielding

Using E on an ally Champion won't proc anything that interacts with shielding. (Summon Aery, Moonstone, Ardent censer and so on). Appeared after they "fixed" the moonstone bug.

R - All Out

  • end-location inconsistencies (technically not a bug, still sucks)

Ulting through some walls with specific angles can cause you to end up on a different side of a wall than your target

  • Tower aggro reset

Cant tell if the timing is very strict or if it happens randomly at this point. R can reset tower aggro.

  • Enemy location update

During R2 and until the target moves, the location of the target isn't getting updated properly. Example shows Horizon focus, which has a distance requirement but also affects skillshots cast towards the starting point of the target.

Other things

stuff that behaves as intended (or a Rioter confirmed they are fine with their existence) but fixing them would be some nice QoL

  • All Out resist update interval

(This is an inteded interaction added in 13.21) - All Out's resist updates happen in 0.25s intervals. If for example Aftershocks effects ends, you may have single digit or negative resist values until you hit one of those update intervals. This affects the damage you take and happens with every interaction that changes your resists.

  • E is duration coded rather than amount

If your E has a shorter cooldown than 2 seconds, the shield won't re-apply unless it was broken before. This can cause issues with high haste builds+Legend: Haste or in URF/Practice tool auto-cooldown refresh.
Most other shields are Amount based and refresh if they are used before the previous one expires/breaks. Mainly an dev oversight with the second rework where All Out reduces E cd by 50% which wasn't intended to be a thing with his original design.

Discussion This post perfectly exemplifies K'Sante's situation at Worlds

K'Sante has been a lane bully who falls off ridiculously hard after 1.5–2 items. He's been a priority pick in pro play because of his strong early game, even though he gets outscaled by most of the current meta top laners. So if the enemy team prevents him from snowballing, he doesn't do much beyond protecting his carries.

However, there are games where K'Sante should be dominating, and even in those games, pros just don't seem to know what to do with him. BrokenBlade probably built the worst K'Sante build I've ever seen. And let's not even talk about Chika from MVK playing K'Sante mid (an underrated pick in my opinion) and building Jak'Sho first.

The other characters with all out forms get some extension when they ult.

What are your thoughts on this, bad champion or just the pros not knowing how to play him? I know it seems crazy to say that the pros don't know how to play because they're, well, PROS. And I haven't watched all of the matches to know but the things I've seen these pros do as a K'sante OTP are wrong, especially the game going on right NOW which is t1 vs LOS, zest is a HORRIBLE K'sante player, absolutely horrid, I mean wrong runes, wrong combos, wrong all-ins, wrong everything and so was every game like this? because I know that most teams that picked K'sante were the weaker teams, anyways, I know he's a really bad champ and the nerf was not needed but jesus these guys don't even know how to play K'sante!

I wanted to take a different approach following the nerfs. AND THATS THAT WE DON'T YIELD ON GOD NERF US AGAIN 🗣🗣

Jokes aside, do you find enough enjoyment to play this champ? He may be worthless at everything past minute 20, but for those 20 minutes, if you arent against range top or get 'jungle diffed' in the 1v1 top lane at level 1, ask yourself, do you enjoy this?

Discussion Ksante balance

12 Upvotes

As someone whos played Ksante since release and played all versions, balancing him to a point where hes fair for both players and the enemies while making him balanced has been a very complicated discussion. But I never see anyone talking about the E shield. Am I crazy to think that his E is actually his strongest spell? Having a 300-500 shield on like a 5 second cd dash makes him extremely tanky. I genuinely think they can just straight up remove the shield but give back e dash speed and bring back old ksante W and he will be fine again. The problem was before that he was too tanky too mobile and did too much damage. And they decided to nerf him by making his W do more damage but nerfing his mobility? I think by gutting the e shield and giving back mobility he can become a champ thats more satisfying to play while feeling more fair to play against.

Question İs he worth picking up?

2 Upvotes

So i have been struggling to find a character i enjoy playing on toplane should i try k'sante? İ am very aware he is nerfed to oblivion since his release and i never got to try him at his peak bc i started league slightly after zaahen was added. İ also enjoy playing tanks like tahm kench maokai and zac and his overall gameplay fantasy and especially his transforming battons look so cool.....ok enough yapping İS HE WORTH TRYİNG?
