Can riot nerf khazix after worlds?

Khazix is blatantly overpowered in solo queue gameplay, and playing against a fed khazix that your team fed has no counterplay whatsoever. https://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=r2c the fact that he can have 95% winrate to masters while playing mostly solo is disgusting. OK metaphor is a rank 1 jungler, but that doesn't mean any champion should be capable of 95% winrate to masters+ over 55 games. Khazix in the current state is perfectly balanced for exciting worlds gameplay, but he is just a elo terrorist in ranked solo queue.

"playing against a fed assassin has no counterplay"

yeah its called dont feed the assassin. Have you ever seen a Mejais stacked Le Blanc or a Kassadin hit level 11 w/Seraphs + Lost chapter while the bot lane is level 7? Its terrifying

not feeding the assasin is not an option in solo queue, someone on your team will die to the khazix and you will get 1 shotted as a result of that person

You can't really judge a champion based on how high winrate someone can get when playing bellow their skill level.

I am pretty sure metaphor could get similar win% with other champions as well.

It's just the nature of assassins, if you play them really well vs inferior opponents there is no counterplay.

I think we can agree that a champion that has almost 15% pick rate and almost 52% win rate in masters+ is a little too strong?

It's not just Metaphor stomping low elos, Kha Zix got overbuffed recently when he didn't need any buff.

Yeah of course. I am just saying that metaphor's 98% or whatever it was means absolutely nothing. He could have done it with shaco I bet, who is so not OP right now, or talon Jungle or something.

Stats in masters+ don't lie though.

I think he would have gotten much lower win rate with those champions. He didn’t even play Eve much on that account even though he is one of the best high elo Eve players and she is pretty good to stomp low elo.

Kha Zix simply has insane early and mid game while still being decent late game, there is no better assassin to play in the jungle right now.

He is also more versatile, since he is decent in poke comps as well

Kha'zix may look intimidating but really all you need to do it be near other players, red wards, and sweeping lens with some cc and he's pretty much done if you can cc him while his e is on cd you pretty much destroy him with your team. try and get your team to be aware of kha'zix his early game is weak so abuse it, put wards in river its where you will see him most of the time like other junglers when scuttle is up, people love to nag kha'zix to gank early so if he does set up a counter gank and shut him down, if he's behind go with your jg to counter jungle him and steal his camps he can't do anything about it. (cc is his biggest weakness) but that's just my experience i'm a silver kha'ix main but it should somewhat help with higher elo kha'zix's Khazix

im talking about solo queue as a top main, i could literally sit full hp under my tower and if the enemy kha is fed from my teamates THEY WILL DIVE ME and there is nothing i can do about it

MrCoWorkerSep 18, 20191 votes

that could happen and it could be entirely your teams fault for feeding him but at this point you can't really do anything about it like how kai'sai can be fed and go under your turrets with her teammates and one shot your with her e or something anyone can dive you if you're fed you just need to predict when its going to happen, ward properly like in river bush or your tri bush or ask for a counter gank

kaisa would not be at top lane ganking me pre 10 min unless our bot tower is gone, and i can see they are rotating upwards, so i will swap to bot lane, and i still wont get dived by kaisa.
