Kha zix used to be a assasin but not anymore. I just believe he was nerfed to badly. For instance the quest, the hunt is on with rengar and khazix is almost impossible to get alone. Rengar is just way better then kha'zix (If equal in gold and XP expect the rengar to win). Of course if kha zix is fed that could be the game changer but if you both are doing fine dont expect to 1v1. So either fix the problem or change the quest somehow.... I suggest.
Fauxfire3 votesRiot's evil plan to change a broken Kha'Zix was like this:
Step 1: Nerf Kha'Zix gradually from "broken" to " viable and strong". Step 2: Take away the jungle item that made jungle Kha'Zix a viable thing Step 3: Nerf his sustain one last time... Step 4: then in the next patch completely change the jungle to benefit and handful of junglers (I'm looking at you WW, Panth, Udyr) and make Kha an slightly harder jungler
S5 was just a cover-up to kick the bug out of the jungle. Confirmed.
Talamare2 votesI agree that at the moment, KhaZix is slightly on the weak and slightly clunky side
but its incredibly slight
Kouga1 votesI still play Khaz and don't have that much of a problem with him. Isolated, Khaz should still be able to edge out a win.
That said, when The Hunt Is On was designed, Rengar could lose stacks on his necklace (and could also sell it if he was probably going to lose the duel) but now that he keeps his stacks permanently, I think it does skew him towards the advantage, because unless he is getting so rolled that he can't get any assists he'll be growing pretty strong.
H0riz0n2341 votesWell Rengars burst is to much. I Had a game where I had Ravenous,Randiuns,GA, Boots of Mobility,Rangers Trailblazer warrior, And Maw of Malmortius. Rengar was full full AD(with 2 amor penn items yomuus and last whisper.) I go to a bush to find rengar with his burst almost instakilling me but barely getting out with my jump. And A good rengar (which I played with) Always has stacks ready and is just impossible to defeat.
Kouga1 votesIf he got the jump on you in a bush, then you should have died. Think about it; Rengar and Kha'zix are meant to be hunters, predators, stalkers. A Rengar who ambushes you can get up his stacks, and Action always beats Reaction.
Plus I don't agree with GA on him, nor Trailblazer. If you know you're gonna be hunting Rengar, why not get Skirmishers which is designed for a 1v1 encounter?
H0riz0n2341 votesI still have a job as a jungler ganking and helping. Maybe selling trailblazer later on in the game but I still have to help those in lane. Trailblazer helps for faster clearing and sustaining longer so I cant be shutting down rengar all the time. With unskilled players almost constant they need their hand help in lane just so they dont feed. So thats why the trailblazer but I will try switching it out late game and see how that goes. P.S theres bushes everywhere on the map P.P.S kha zix helps more then rengar in team fights so of course he had to be nerfed on some degree( but he doesnt feel like an assasin anymore)
Profirix1 votesThe real problem with Kha'zix is that sure, you might get a few good kills early game. An experienced opposing team will take vision control and travel together so that Kha'zix's damage is reduced by a large margin. If you do not get your target isolated, you are always at a complete disadvantage as his kit revolves around him isolating his target. What he really needs is some way to provide a quick moment of isolation with his target so he can get at least one isolated Q in in a fight. Its just too debilitating when you group up for team fights and Kha'zix can't do anything effectively because they are grouped up. I've lost too many games because the enemy team gets smart and you are unable to catch anyone out alone.
Straight up: Isolation range with minions is way too large. Isolation range on turrets is also difficult to get around. Isolation range on other champions is ok. The only thing he needs is some work on his isolation mechanics. Otherwise he will probably not be a top tier pick for a long time.
H0riz0n2341 votesKha zix is better in team fights then rengar by poking with his W. Rengar Is meant for 1v1 and is why he has so much burst and why is not really helpfull in team fights. Kha zix has been pushed away from the assassin type into a fighter or tank by riots nerfs. And for team fights poke with your W and your team mates should also poke until your team is ready to go in( hate when people think they can stay close to the enemy team as I can, bich I got a 90 mile jump). So kha zix has been changed from sole assasin to fighter and tank( Which I do miss kha zix as an actual assasin).
