You have completely, 100% ruined this game for me and a vast majority of friends I play with. This is not fun anymore, this inst a game that encourages counter-play and diversity; factors that made it what it WAS. EVERY CHANGE IS ONE SIDED.

My friend (ii ll ii ll li) aka: Kha'zix main, over 500 games on Kha over 3 accounts, now dies to wolves after gromp and blue. After trying every mastery set up and jungle start, HE STILL DIES.

He's happy to say _"This is finally my excuse to stop playing, they ravaged my champion." Let that sink in....

I on the other hand, find no point in this update other than to actually FUCK OVER ANYONE WHO HAD INTENTIONS TO GIT GUD. New meta = ad's only and everywhere, while the new mastery system seems diverse it's not. Oh, and mages? Dead. Mid lane? More like ad's and high burst ONLY. Nerfs to every ap item and buffs to Mr. Need I remind you how dominate the new ad's are? Have you even done research, tables, charts, on their changes and effect on games? If so, show me and explain in full detail and in a valid argument how the fuck it was a good idea. Dont get me wrong, the concepts are there; poorly executed balance has them broken and unstoppable.

Not to mention the changes on skill. "This patch was designed by a silver idiot" I still stand by that quote. Why are you not consulting pro's about these changes. And no, not the ones you pay, i'm talking about a survey given out to Diamonds +. I'm damn sure they have some words to say about this.

The meta is now "click to burst, no room for comeback". The op's are too easy to play to win with COUGH Yasuo; who was balanced and took skill and knowledge to actually win with, not just building 2 items for 100% crit and autoing your way to victory. The items ARE ALL DIRECTED TOWARD ONE ROLE. No items were made in addition to the ad items, in fact they made ad items to counter the ONLY THING THAT CAN COUNTER THEM.

Since 2011 I have played this game. Every patch being welcomed. The juggernauts were bad enough but at least they could be banned out. I don't enjoy league anymore. Its a burden now. One that i'm happy to relieve.

Congrats Riot. You just made a nuke that can detonate itself.

tl;dr----- Riot has found a way, to give an explanation to ruin themselves.

Sincerely your pissed off player -Smelp

I thought Kha'zix could adapt to anything.

Your friend must be a shitty Kha then. 500 matches does not mean you are good. If he can't clear first half of the jungle then he is doing something very wrong.

Then try something different. There is not one linear path to the jungle. Did you try doing skuttle before your buff? That would give you enough HP back. Or have you been trying refillable potion? Because if you have, some junglers simply need to start with the 3 pots to make it through. Heck, Yorick can do a full clear now in the current jungle If you plan it right. And that's Yorick we're talking about!

Kha is great at a lot of things, but he definitely is on the squishier side as a jungler. Without hyper sustain or shielding, since his W can only do so much, you're going to have to lean on a bit more of a leash and/or use of your Smite to get back HP. Perhaps Krugs is a better start for Kha, and in that case, use Talisman instead for the Mana regen in order to get through the jungle to Blue. At the end of the day, it does make sense as a trade-off for an AD assassin that thrives in mid and late-game teamfights to have a rough jungle start, and Kha got a lot of boosts from the item changes as well.

As for your post itself: The thing you need to remember is that a lot of champs were impacted by these changes, just like they are every single preseason. The game is completely different on so many different levels. Posting a topic such as this, where you just rant about how your main champion is destroyed is not opening any opportunities for communication. If you want a discussion, bring something level-headed, and you may even get a Rioter to pipe in. This is a time of many changes in League, and Redposts are everywhere. If you want to get more of their thoughts, and perhaps even some tentative changes, I highly suggest working on making your posts less aggressive.

ahem Kha'Zix player here ahem

Now I'm a silver scrub I'm absolutely horrible a this game and I don't have nearly 500+ games on kha'zix and I'm probably much better on other champions but here you go.

I recorded some quick gameplay of the first clear. It's absolutely horrifically bad recording forgive me, I'm in the middle of rendering a model in background programs so my computer is really not having a nice time so I just recorded it high enough quality so you can see shit.

Also, fair warning might wana mute your sound my spotify radio put on some gross shit during this.

And there you go, kha'zix half health+ clear to wolves. if the enemy jungler had not taken skuttle I could have just used auto attacks and my W until I was full health again which is what I usually do. your friend clearly is complete shit at Kha'Zix
