Playing against K'Sante

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Avoid standing near walls: his R pushes you through walls to isolate you.

2

In All Out mode (R), K'Sante is squishier but deals more damage — burst him quickly in that form.

3

His W is unstoppable but predictable (visible charge) — reposition laterally.

4

Punish him between Q stacks: if he doesn't have the 3rd Q, he has no knockup.
