Kha Zix NEEDS a nerf

PiggyTheAstro··6 votes·3,424 views

Alright, I think we can all admit it now, Kha Zix needs a nerf, and a strong one, since his banrate is over 50% rn.

Pro 1) Amazing chasing capability

If I'm fighting a Rengar or a Shaco, or a Talon, whatever, I can use my flash when I see the enemy, Can't do that against a Kha Zix who (without evolving) has a CC in his passive and a leap, well, his passive is hard to use, you might say, well, it's not when you evolve adaptive cloaking and you get permanent invisibility. Let's remember that this is WITHOUT EVOLVING your E...

Pro 2) Stupid getaway capability as well

I remember when I was playing Warwick and I was counterganking bot, their Kha Zix was really low, but I lost track of him because HE ENTERED A BUSH! Getting away shouldn't be that cheap, Rengar can't do it, Twitch and Shako use their invis/camo to engage, why should he have permanent invisibility AND a leap (which turns into a double leap when evoved. Let's not forget that you can also fire behind you while chased with your W.

Pro 3) Good at any range

His W gives him ranged poke, which isn't amazing but it ALSO heals him, like, why? You shouldn't be able to get such a cheap heal, especially on such an easy to land "skill" shot which takes away the skill part when evolved.

Pro 4) Evolving gimmick

Let's see, extra range on his Q? I'm pretty fine with it, even the isolated targets thing which you wouldn't want to evolve early game (where it's the strongest)

THREE spikes to fire? I thought this was a skillshot, not a facerollshot, especially when it slows and deals enough damage to finish off (teamfights), it's not that bad tho, leave it like this.

Now we're getting to the OP stuff, TWO LEAPS?! WITH INCREASED RANGE?! I can't think of any other assassin as mobile late game, oh, and as annoying. This crosses the borderline of "a jungler shouldn't have this"

I saved the juiciest one for last, the fact that you can enter a bush to go invisiblle is just... dumb... especially while you get increased movement speed, a "get out of jail for free card" doesn't belong here.

Any cons?) The only bad thing I can think of about him is his squishiness, I mean, he's not that "squishy" when you think of other assassins, most of them don't have some sort of a heal (which Kha Zix has BTW)

What I propose?)

1)His W doesn't heal and doesn't slow. 2)Can only become invis after entering brush, can't go invis by activating his ultimate

Yes, Kha'Zix is OP, his evolved R is what makes OP. However, your proposed changes are bad, if activating his ultimate doesn't grant stealth, it becomes worthless. His W slow only comes from his W evolution, remove this and he will never upgrade W. His passive invisibility needs to be changed to camouflage or reworked entirely.

Let's not forget that he's super easy to learn: this was my 1st game ever with Kha, I shouldn't have gotten more kills then anyone.

Not trying to be rude, but it's not really possible for a level 13 player to have a solid grasp on the state of the game. Unless you've played a bunch on another account, you just don't have enough knowledge to make claims about the game's balance.

I used to have another account a few years ago, didn't play a lot but mained Ziggs. I've also played a bunch of other MOBA's a lot.

It's just that low level games are so different from an average ranked game that they're difficult to even compare.

HIs w only heals if he is right next to the blast when it hits though so i mean yotu should literally be in auto range even as a melee and his r evolution only puts you invisible in bushes while out of combat so you obviously didnt hit him before he entered bush

  1. How the hell is his passive a CC? His leap is a long CD and low damage so i
  2. Invis only kicks in if hes out of combat. He cant just fight and walk in a bush to disappear and leave
  3. Poke also long CD and high mana. Cant just spam it while sieging. Also heal only applicable when hes in melee range. Get rid of that and he cant jungle
  4. Very apparent you dont know what his invis is only out of combat

Oh So you want to Olaf Him. Sure why not im fine with that tbh.

(P.S. Maybe making a champion essentially only have 1.5 abilities is a bad idea)
