Gnar or Kha zix?

Sworeclipse··2 votes·811 views

So, I was originally saving up for gnar because I REALLY like him and I think he is a very fun champion. But, then I remember when I was level 6 and below where I mained kha zix and I remembered how fun he was to play. I'm really torn between these two champions and I would really like some suggestions for who I should buy.

Gnar is a good top right now and will probably get nerfed pretty soon and Kha'Zix is a decent jungler. If you like to play assassins id pick Kha'Zix if not pick up Gnar

Hmm, I REALLY like assasins (that burst is so satisfying!) but I also need more top laners... I'm still torn between the two D:

Well Kha'zix can be played top, it's not considered viable though. It's also risky. It's either

AFK farm both sides (Bad for Kha, you need to snowball fast and hard, you can afk farm till 6 then destroy the enemy top but that's up to you) You get destroyed You dump the other guy. He's really mana dependent early. It's easier to snowball off mid due to the squishy laners and maw of malmortius, but you won't get zoned in top. But once you snowball in top most toplaners can't fight back.

How about kha zix jungle? I'm not really interested in playing kha zix top, im going for jungle kha zix.

You need to gank lanes and counterjungle to prevent shits like hecarim to run wild or yisus. Take blue/red/green(vision) smite (all 3 are k).

The combo should be

EQ-Rhydra-Smite-W (buffer so it fires on the ground) aa. Casual combo.

EQE is for the reset, throw in hydra/smite if needed.

Max q and evolve it first, after level 6, to gank lane, ult into it so they can't see you. Save e after they flash.

Ganking bot: Focus the squishier champ. Make sure they aren't in position to fight back

Do not attempt to dive if you don't have volved E, fed, or you can't tank the tower.

Don't gank lanes when your laners push and they have no hard cc.

Pick kha'zix into wombo combos so you can clean up a fight.

Good luck.

Oooooooooo ok! Thanks so much for the advice! Kha zix jungle looks really fun to play and it seems like it has a high skill cap. Though I'm still unsure on which champion to get, I might actually get kha zix because I do really like the assassin-y burst kind of champions.

Kha'zix is somewhat team dependent, I mean unless you're nightblue3/Diamond 1 kha'zix/NUtty it's going to be hard to carry boosted animals going annie mid 0/5 against kassadin really.

Unless you plan on splitpushing, kha'zix is going to have a hard time late game if you're not good at kha'zix.

So yeah you should try to end the game early.

Ok... But why gnar? Can you please explain to me why you think gnar is better than kha zix (I really need some more opinions but if you don't want to reply its completely fine).

I'm not good at this game, nor am I very knowledgeable, so I'm gonna give this a shot.

They're both very good at different situations. Gnar is kind of like a hybrid juggernaut and marksman while Kha'Zix is a skirmishing assassin. I've played both champs(though I don't own either), and they're both good in other roles aside from the ones their intended for(kha can be pretty good in top, while Gnar makes a decent support in a kill lane), but I'm gonna have to say Khazix. In my opinion he's a lot more fun to play and maybe even a safer pick if you don't want to buy a champion and see them nerfed into the ground instantly.

Both are good and probably going to see statistical changes soon(Gnar in patches soon and Kha in assassin update) though.

Hmm ok, do you have any official sources that gnar will get nerfed? Or is it just a guess? I'm maybe leaning a little towards gnar but I didn't make a decision yet. BUT, if gnar is officially going to get nerfed or it's highly likely than I'll probably get kha zix.

P.S. Kha zix is not in the big changes of the assassin update so I'm not too worried about that :).

Just a guess! I say go for Gnar if that's who you really want, just my opinion :D

Yes, but as they did with Marksman, Riot has stated that all assassins will be getting some form of changes. No concrete evidence as to what these changes will be. But we know something will be happening.

Gnar is awesome, I play him quite a lot. I recommend buying him. His skillset is a lot of fun, he can do mean damage and tank with the best of them. I prefer him over kha because he has a much more diverse playstyle imo.

Hmm ok, the only problem is that a lot of people are saying that he's getting nerfed soon :/

I think Gnar is more forgiving of a champion. He can play from behind because of his utility whereas Kha'Zix behind is just doomed. That being said, Kha'zix can snowball a little harder than Gnar since Kha'zix with a lead is really scary.

Hmm ok, I tend to make a lot of mistakes so maybe I'll get gnar XD
