Why should I or anyone else play Kha'zix right now?

With the release of our friend Ekko, we have yet another assassin who has no limitations on his ability to assassinate targets beyond player skill. Ahri ,Katarina, Leblanc, MasterYi, Rengar, Talon, Zed, all of them have ways to get in, and so long as they aren't cc'd, are totally a-okay to take out the carry. Khazix on the other hand is the only one limited by the targets' teammates mere PRESENCE around them. We can also choose to ignore that kha's damage to ISOLATED targets is the SAME as those mentioned above.

Well now, you could be saying all these assassins CAN jump in to kill the carry when their allies are all around them, but they'll just get blown up along with the carry, assuming they can even touch him right? All of them still like to kill the carry when they're alone or at least partially separated from their team. Except Zed Leblanc Ekko exist. Now you're saying well yea, thats WHY we HATE them. To which I say yes, thats true, but kha doesn't need a 'get out of jail free' card when he messes up, just an easier time killing the target to get out relatively safely. Cause right now he carries the same reward (killing the carry) for a far greater risk, with tools much less suited to the task. Kha has his resets doesn't he? yes, he does, but only if he kills the target, which is easier said than done when his damage is incredibly reliant on isolation, and even then is only the same as other assassin's, who's damage to champions is only reliant on just being able to LAND their skills.

So why should anyone play Kha'zix right now? His damage isnt anything special, its reliant on isolation and no other assassin has such a limiting factor on their ability to kill. What was once a cool gimmick of Kha's kit, feeling that I got to blow up the carry when he was all alone and rewarded for it, has now become a major liability, that no other assassin has to deal with.

kha zix has a unreliable get out for free card

its the reset and the ult the ult same argument could be said for shaco...

i mean if he uses the q to get in and doesnt kil his target he cant really get out.. than there is nidalee she can get in but her jump is not long enough to get out really i think the way to play kha zix is jumping on targets who already have half hp

i just bought kha zix cause i did good with him in his free week bigest thing im strugling with is actualy that id much rather evolve his wings than his claws first

i might be missing out of allot of damage but i am able to not die and gank way better

i do agree with you the isolating dmg should be extra not either you isolate or you just dont do damage
