I have a quandry... He's definitely a ganking jungler via his whole mechanic of him having to attack champions to transform... but I also think that Kayne's ganks are actually really really bad.

Unless he can get behind someone with his wall walk he has extremely poor mobility, the spin at the end of his Q leaves him stationary for a half second, and you really need to use it at point blank anyway to get both hits of it otherwise he has poor damage.

On the other hand however.... he's extremely good at ASSISTING ganks FOR him. The real problem is his mobility, but that doesn't matter if he's already ontop of his opponent, when he is actually attacking them he's really strong, and it's also hard to get away from him with the slow from his W. He's very good if enemies are running directly away from him, less so if he's approaching from the side or even from behind due to his Q needing to dash through them to do its damage.

He's not actually a very bad laner, in fact I like it more than his jungle. Max W first and use it to poke at the enemy, you'll be constantly filling your transformation meter even faster than if you were jungling, and it does quite a large chunk of damage too.
