Zed's different. He can get the full stack with W+R hitting all abilities. And his burst is calculated with pre-mitigation damage. As such, the burst happens after BC is full stacked. Kayn ont he other hand deals bonus magic based off of post-mitigation, meaning BC won't be fully stacked for the burst. With both you only have 3 seconds to burst your damage, but Zed can poke before the all in for BC stacks, Kayn cannot. CDR and HP are nice, but your passive is gonna be down before any abilities come up a second time, and HP isn't needed as much if you can full burst better than they can.

BC on Kayn doesn't really help his passive burst as much as lethality or Mortal/LDR. Against squishies, just go full Lethality. Against tanks, get LDR if 1 or 2, Rhaast if more than 2 or 2 and you have no tank.
