At the moment there’s a bug in which certain entities remove Isolation for Kha’zix.

All of the causes recorder are for patch 9.13, because before that, they didn't remove Isolation and it hasn't been mentioned in patch notes as far as I know but I could be wrong since I can’t remember every interaction that removes isolation purposely before patch 9.13, which is why we're gonna use a common rule of thump: "Champions , minions and pets (Tibbers from Annie, Daisy from Ivern , Heimerdinger turrets e.t.c.) should remove Isolation" _ and here’s leagueoflegends fandom take on this: **"Kha'Zix marks all enemy units who don't have any targetable enemy ally nearby them as Isolated."_** , which I believe to be far more accurate.

All that said here’s a list of causes we found unusual as Kha’Zix mains:

Removes isolation: • Cait’s Trap • Skarner’s Passive (Only removes isolation when captured) • Scuttle ward • Jayce’s Acceleration Gate (In effect or not, doesn’t matter)

Doesn’t remove Isolation: • Anti-ward / Wards • Allies effects (Removes isolation while the cause being your own teammate e.g. Graga’s Barrel in your own team would remove Isolation)

Hasn't been tested: • Karthus's Pasive (Karhus death form) • Jarvan Flag • Yuumi (Disclaimer: That didn’t apply on older patch) • Corki Package • Gragas Barrel • Bards Meeps (“little eggmen” -u/doug4130) • Kindred’s Wolf • Diana’s Q • Shadow Orbs from Syndra • Singed’s Gas • Trundle’s Pillar • Lulu's Pix (Applies to whoever it’s on) • Oriana’s Ball • GunBlade • Zoe (Passive / unknown) • Heca (Unknown) • Camille’s Passive or/and E • Corpses of Champions (Sometimes?) • Thresh’s Lantern

We went through the process of making a video as well proving that it actually exists, honestly it was pretty rushed mainly because we wanted to report this as fast as possible but we hope it's good enough.

I would advice having a look at the sources as well because they have some videos that could seem helpful but they aren't tested in a vacuum so take them with a grain of salt.

In my opinion, the fandom definition is how it should be: Only things that are targetable should remove isolation.

I just played a game where I played vs Jarvan IV and his flag stopped my isolation constantly, making it impossible to fight him, even solo. I was honestly surprised by this which is why I stumbled upon this post. I believe it hasn't been like this in previous patches? If this is not intentional, then please fix it as it makes kha imposible to play (imo).

I saw a post a few days ago that mentioned Nocturne's Q was removing isolation, or possibly the dusk trail it leaves behind. Not sure if that's still valid tho.

Alright, now that I know I'm not crazy...

Jinx's flame chompers and Yorick's ghoul ring do as well. Something from Kindred does (assuming it's the wolf, what else could it be?), but I'm not 100% sure what it is, only that I didn't have iso on her for 90% of a 35 minute game.

I'm going to experiment with wards a little bit because I swear I had my isolation denied by a ward UNTIL it went invisible last night. However, it was a hectic skirmish and there may have been other factors. Zombie ward? Klepto ward? Not sure.

This is actually crazy. As a one trick I'm basically forced to smurf, as I can't possibly compete in any elo with a basic understanding of isolation/ how to abuse this bug.

Well, back to W spam mid lane.
