Preseason Kha'Zix is too strong. Let's talk about that.

#This is an editted repost from a PBE post of mine, because making light of this is important.

Ok, I know this is preseason, that's why I'm giving feedback. I'm a Plat Kha'Zix main. He is a pretty OP on PBE. I want you guys to understand this is the first PBE change and isn't final, I came here to talk civilized about things.

See those arrows? If you follow that path, you can use his new ultimate passive for bushes and the two charges it gives to run that whole distance in stealth (with possibly a few millisecond down time in the first transition). That's a lot of "stealth", it almost feels like camouflage. I suggest having a bush limit to chaining the passive, like 3 bushes in a row before it is disabled for a small amount.

His new Q is farm godsend. It's both a scuttle buster and a Drag shagger with how fast you can pump out Q's. I like it, but it's going to cause some sneaky early drags that might be a little too early. Reduce the % reduction of the CD on isolated targets by a little, so that it isn't abusable with CDR runes.

You can Q mid air from the explosive plant. This is coolio.

Poachers Dirk + boots on the first back is a huge move speed spike. If you pair the passive with mobi boots late game and his ult in bushes, he's essentially speed racer when moving through the jungle. This feels like way too much move speed, even if you only take into account boots and dirk. I would change both Dirks to 15 or 10 move speed until they are upgraded.

The Nightstalker passive will be too much. I'm sure someone could quickly do the math, but knowing that Kha'Zix can get three charges of stealth from being near one bush, and then getting BOTH HIS PASSIVE AND THE NIGHTSTALKER PASSIVE with every stealth makes me want to click my heels as a Kha main. This Nightstalker passive NEEDS to have a cooldown after the first use of it, or it will be hella broken.

#I'm making this post because I want Kha'Zix to stay were he is in regards to his power on live. I don't want him buffed (by much ;) ) and I don't want him nerfed because he came in too hot. Discussion is welcome.

Wew, KhaZix with mobility is something else

Dont mind the mobility since his nuke is toned down the stealth i agree might be a little bit of an issue also the true dmg passive will be insanely strong on him. Also dusk is overtuned too much shit packed in it expected nerfs to come. His late game is still bad outside the mobility cause he still has to isolate people. i'm also a kha main in diamond. IF you got any math that he will be broken plz put em up and let's see em i'm happy to discuss about zix

Well... since they removed his evolved q damage completely... I did the math and with the core khazix build his q damage is down about 400 at full build. On top of that his W ad ratio is going down to 85% from 100% which is fucking stupid since they already removed the slow on his Un evolved W to begin with....so they gutted his W and his q does a lot less damage

i see that they buffed his passive to scale with ad and have higher base damage. also they didn't completely remove Q isolation damage and the CD on the reset is almost 1 fucking second. he can Q auto Q and do more damage than the current kha zix and hes currently busted.

You are ignorant. They completely removed his bonus isolation damage so it will take two Q's to do as much as it took one on live servers

OK first of all....neither of you know TO REPLY TO THE MAIN TOPIC IF THIS FEED.

what you are talking about. The new W is going to be absolute trash. They are reducing the bonus ad ratio Down to 85% from 100%. On top of that. The only reason you evolved W in the first place was W waveclear, clear minions to isolate people late game, peel for your adc from tanks and that's about it. MAXING W IS TE WORST THIN YOU COULD DO.

SECOND: khazix already gets the +50 range on evolved q for live servers now and he always has. I don't understand why no one knows this.

THIRD: why makes you think evolving Q third is a good idea?!?!?! YOU GET 60% cd back from q on isolated targets. With 45% cdr and this you can Q every 1.6 seconds. Khazix will NEED the duskblade damage to do nearly as much damage as he does now and will still come short...

Idc what you say. I am a khazix main with over 550,000b mastery points on the champion. From this new khazix. You still are going to want Q first, then most likely E or R. If you evolve W then you are stupid.

Hi, hoping you meant to address other posts and not my original one. They increased the slow on evolved W, so its shifted from a wave clear or poke tool to an aoe cc for chasing down enemies after an engage.

That's not to say you should evolve W, but I am still excited to see some Q>R>E concept builds rather than the usual with how many Duskblade procs you can get.
