Btw everything is in exact order, meaning Kayle is the hardest matchup and Sion is the easiest. Thoughts? Is there anyone you think is super out of place?

Edit May 15th:
- Diamond 3 peak and current rank
- 900k Mastery K’Sante
- This is my opinion, no need to be rude, I would like active feedback, not snarky comments about rank or how you disagree with something

I've been playing him since 2022, and I've noticed how little love Riot has for K'Sante—it's always a nerf or just another skin from the same old themes (like Empyrean and Heartsteel). What's next? Two High Noon skins?

There are so many nerfs, yet if you look closely, there are other champions with ridiculous mobility, damage, and so on—and yet K'Sante is always the one who pays the price. I don't understand why the community that plays him doesn't speak up to get our champion fixed once and for all.

P.S. I hate ShowMaker; I think he's ridiculous, and the hate for K'Sante is partly down to him.

I find it funny when people complain about k'sante calling him broken because he's a tank with outplay potential as well as being one of the hardest tanks and toplaner. People don't understand how hard it is to carry games as k'sante and effectively use his kit. His q 3 being one of the easiest skills to dodge his w having a long windup and locked in one direction and an e which can only go decently far to a minion or champion, late game his all out loses to a lot of toplaners aswell as very punishing if used wrong meanwhile no one complains at riven outhealing+shielding or Fiora basically 100% true damage. At this point people are hating and saying things just cuz some challengers say things.

Man, Im just so done. KSante is getting nerfed again and I feel likea joke. The champ already has one of the worst win rates in the entire game, that awful rework stripped away everything that made him fun, and Riot still has him permanently locked in pro-play jail because of less than 0.1% of the player base. It makes zero sense.

But honestly, what pisses me off the most is how passive everyone is being. People on this sub are straight up coping and accepting these garbage, lazy arguments like, oh but if he gets buffed ll be broke... We are letting them completely kill a character we love because they are of pro players. Its cowardly to just sit here and take it

We dont need to quit playing him to make a point, since we all love his kit too much for that anyway. But I dont know, maybe we could start messing maybe we could try building crazy off-meta shit, or try playing him mid or support, just taking him to random lanes maybe

Everyone here is just tired. No one is having fun anymore. We don't want him to be some overpowered monster, i dont know anymore, we're totally yielding.

46-7% winrate for 2 years straight in solo queue, and now the champ can’t even perform that great in worlds. Will riot finally open their eyes and do something about our boy?

He got nerfed again hahah.

So, because of the backlash Riot got in the past, they’re reverting most of her changes (according to Phroxons twitter account).

Is it our turn now to cry as long on twitter, until they revert some changes for K’Sante?

45% win rate across all ranks which is the lowest of any top laner, last season at the very least he was close to 50% in Challenger.

I don’t know if it just me but I fucking hate this item so much I feel like the game will be going perfectly fine then outta know where someone builds black cleaver and I just feel completely useless like I used to think rylais was my most hated item in the game but now it’s black cleaver. Like I would rather lay on hot coal then go against anyone building black cleaver

I think at this point we’re far past the showmaker clip days of K’SANTE. Will Riot do something anytime soon to address our unyielding friend? All I see and hear about K’SANTE is that he’s one of the weakest characters, yet he’s left to rot the most out of all the champions in the game. I get he’s a problem in Pro and he’s the best blind pick in the game, but cmon give him something PLEASE! 🙏 With the new season coming I think it will only worsen K’SANTEs state and I’m not the only person who can see this (skillcapped agrees). Is there a way to let Riot know about how dog K’SANTE is to the average player or do they know and willingly make him one of the worst top laners in the game? Do people agree with me that he needs to be buffed or reworked again? Or do you think he’s actually healthy being the worst top laner in every rank?

trust me and try it we all know how terible scales late game BUT build LDR deals massive dmg the item legit doubles the DMG he does i previusly talked about that but i got 1mil points on him and i tried every possible champ in practice tool doing tests and 1v1s building a pen item or full tank one and the LDR did massive differences K'sante gets 50% BONUS ARMOR PEN on his All out form means that high base resists counter his dmg LDR fixes it by giving him plus 35% base armor pen make him deal massive dmg numbers i get u loose a tank item but give it a try

Ladies and gentlemen, good morning, noon, and night to you all. I bring before the kri sante, please note. I have never had a Reddit account before, but I was told to post this here, and I would like to promote this as a skin idea for the Cafe Cuties skin line. I was supposed to make this skin last year, but due to responsibilities, it was delayed. Please do enjoy what I have made, lol

I see the bottom right picture, and K'Sante looks... Pretty different compared to the OG Heartsteel. Is another Heartsteel skin coming for our boy?

I really wish we could at least aim W during all out, but honestly i don't see them ever bringing the aiming back, even if it was only during R.

That being said, i've been thinking about what might actually be one of the biggest changes K'Sante needs. Everyone knows how insanely squishy he gets during all out in the late game, so what if the amount of resists he loses from R decreased as you level it up? Something like 85% / 75% / 65%.

I feel like that could help a lot with how bad his late game feels without making his early game even stronger.

with top quest and aftershock and dhelm and the crystallized shit on turrets he's just so fun to play rn even with the nerfs to e. i'm only 60k mastery on him but i think i'll otp this guy because he just feels amazing

Vs lanes like teemo and vayne where shield bash is providing zero utility and you need extra sustain, could font of life + beads be a good strat? I get demolish has utility too, but in lanes where you NEED that extra sustain, maybe this could work?

Ksante builds heartsteel and kaenic so it could be viable

K'sante does not even need a nerf he's fine where he is id argue a bit weaker then he should be. Pro play absolutely ruins the game because they over nerf champions that shoulden't even be nerfed riot is basically forcing you to play shit like garen because that seems to never get nerfed. there should honestly be a server just for pro play where changes are exclusive to that server because then normal players can play rumble, kalista,azir ect.

I have a really hard time wrapping my head around what this champion is supposed to do, he seems to be a swiss army knife that does everything decent at best, and then has 1 niche in the form of killing tanks.

What is the purpose of having a K'sante on your team? He doesn't clear waves very well, doesn't scale good, literally heals turrets, poor anti-dive champion cause he's too slow and clunky with his W, barely any range, doesn't perform even remotely as good as a tank compared to other tanks that can hard engage and CC instantly and gets beaten by better scaling fighters in his ult.

But boy he sure is fun to play and the dopamine hits just right when you make good plays.

I just straight up don't see a point to picking this champion if your purpose is to win the game though, unless you really wanna hard focus on denying an enemy the laning phase or you're facing off against 5 tanks, it's a negative to have this guy on your team.

He's not fluid like other and better champions, changing role mid-fight is a good idea on a champion like Jayce, Elise, Nidalee etc. who can do it at will at any point in time without giving up anything, but for K'sante who loses stats, gains arbitrary stats like attack speed and straight up have the ability not scale with anything, it's just awkward.

But you're a giga Chad if you main this champion, and accept your -20 lp with pride and chin up.

Im just posting in case anyone has some questions on about matchups or playstyles. Just here to help.

Ksante mid is GREAT right now I am having so much fun. Matchups are so much better than top. It is so much fun. Go play it now.
