Im a khazix main

No one has made me more sad then elise shes never isolated due to her passive so i cant duel her

Other good counters (but not as hard counters) are nidalee, lee sin, and tank junglers like zac, kha beats tanks early but makes teamfighting really hard for him later on

KhaZix damage is shit when he doesnt have you isolated, if he does however he will probably kill you. He is really squishy, so burst mages are good against him. His most extreme counter is Lee Sin who just counters every single part of his kit.

I wonder, would Tiamat be a worthwhile purchase against Elise? If you can kill her spiderlings quickly enough with the passive and active, she would be much easier to fight.

Lee Sin is hilarious though.

  • Clear jungle? Die.
  • Jump into a fight? Kicked out.
  • Stealth? Revealed.

Yeah Elise is a skill matchup, Tiamat helps a lot with that one. With Overloaded $in though you can only sit down and cry :S

TFW they pick Lee Sin and Lulu after you pick Kha'zix.

Lee sin counters kha because of his superior early game and his revealing ablities (Q and E)

Tanky junglers with CC who just laugh at his damage and CC the fuck out of him until he dies?

IIRC, Elise's Spiderlings prevent her from being isolated and she can out-pressure him in the early game. If she gets an early kill on him in his own jungle (where he gets decently low clearing), she can snowball pretty hard.

Anyone who can lock him down or protect his target works rather well too. This includes many tanks and supports with hard CC or shields.

Lulu is a fantastic counter to him in teamfights. She has two forms of hard CC, her ultimate will increase his target's survivability and her E will provide vision of him if he tries to stealth.

Kha'zix main, 110k Points.

Elise: Never isolated. A kha'zix main's worst nightmare.

Shyvana: Super fast jungle clear nad impossible to 1v1.

Kindred: Can deny his resets, but kha'zix will destroy her in a 1v1.

Lee Sin: One of the only people Kha'zix can't duel

Twisted fate: The bane of kha'zix. It's obvious.

Shyvana one trick here, can confirm Shyvana.

I NEVER pick kha'zix into shyvana. It's suicide.

Also Vi is annoying in the later stages, she just clicks you and wow, you're CC'd and probably dead.

Champions which can negate his isolation are pretty good general counters against him. This includes Annie (tibbers) Azir (soldiers; he can also counter Kha's leap with his ult) Elise (spiderlings) Heimerdinger (turrets) Illaoi (tentacles) Malzahar (voidlings) Shaco (boxes and clone) MonkeyKing (clone) Yorick (mist walkers and maiden of mist)

They work well against Kha'Zix because they have targetable pets or traps which they can use to negate Kha'Zix's isolation, allowing them to have a better time against him in a 1x1. Except in case of Azir, his soldiers are not targetable but they still negate Kha'Zix's isolation.

Things that do NOT negate Kha'Zix's isolation:

Gangplank barrels Lulu pix (she still counters him pretty hard due to her supportive kit which has a lot of CC and potential to deny Kha'Zix) Bard chimes Nidalee traps Jhin traps Maokai saplings

NOT SURE: Zyra plants


You can also counter Kha'Zix by taking advantage of his weak early game. I say that it is weak because Kha'Zix do not have a lot of bonus AD. He also doesn't have his evolved Q yet. As such, even when isolated, he will not do a lot of damage against you. In the jungle this can be taken advantage of by counterjungling him; that's why Nidalee and LeeSin work well against him.

If all else fails, you can just counter him like you would counter any other AD assassin:

  1. Build armor and health
  2. Do not let him snowball
  3. Do NOT wander alone, especially as a squishy. This is actually specially important against Kha'Zix due to his ability to do bonus damage to isolated targets.
  4. Utility/support mages work well against Kha'Zix as they have ways to deny his assassination attempts. This includes Lulu Zilean Fiddlesticks Karma Lissandra Soraka Bard Nami
  5. For the same aforementioned reason, peeling/utility tanks like Gragas Poppy Alistar Nautilus
  6. The hardest ADCs for Kha'Zix to deal which are the ones which have self-peeling (that is, they are really mobile by themselves and thus are not incredibly reliant on their team to peel and protect them) examples include Vayne Lucian Ezreal Tristana The first three are really popular. Graves is also difficult because he is really tanky for an ADC
  7. Sustained damage bruisers can outduel Kha'Zix even if they are isolated, this includes XinZhao Vladimir DrMundo Volibear Jax

people with point-click hard cc

if you don't have it you can't fight him 99.9% of the time
