Why Riot's new AD Assassin Item Won't Help Anyone [Analysis] [Long] [TL;DR Included] * /r/leagueoflegends

Hello, Everyone! I just wanted to shed some extra attention, hopefully some Riot attention, to this article discussing the new AD Assassin item which mainly turns into a discussion on Kha'Zix. Now I used to play a lot of Kha'Zix back in season 3 and would love to see our favorite void bug rise again. Kha'Zix is currently in a horrible position and I agree with OP's argument that Kha'Zix kit is the main issue.

For the article: I believe that the idea that if "you jump in and don't kill your target = you're in a bad spot" is a fair play style because his kit rewards him so much if he does kill his target champion and he shouldn't just be able to walk out if he makes a bad assassination attempt. I agree that a charge system on his ultimate would be a really great change but I disagree with the W and E changes proposed. I believe his Q and isolation mechanic are the main issues and should be addressed first before altering his other abilities. **The only reason I agree with altering his R is that having to put his ultimate on a long cool down is frustrating when only one charge was needed. This is more of a QoL change than anything. **

I will propose one massive change: remove the isolation mechanic in favor of a stacking Q damage multiplier on targets.** LoL is supposed to be team oriented game and this mechanic relies on poor positioning and play from the enemy team: not good play from the Kha'Zix player. **

My proposed idea is that Unseen Threat additionally turns into a charge system and if Kha'Zix applies an Unseen Threat empowered auto attack, his Q damage gains a certain % damage increase and Kha'Zix could apply multiply stacks of this debuff onto his target. This rewards Kha'Zix for sticking on one target and trying to kill them. W could now apply Unseen Threat to his target and using a charge of his ultimate could also regen a charge of Unseen Threat. Additionally, if Kha'Zix kills a champion, he gains a buff "Hungering Blood" which takes all the stacks of "Unseen Threat" from the champion he has just slain and applies them to the next target he auto attacks. This change would massively reward good assassinations and let him continue his killing spree.

These changes would allow Kha'Zix to be useful in team fights now that he doesn't have to play around his isolation mechanic while still keeping his assassination play style. These changes also play into the "persistent hunter" and "wearing down the prey" concepts that are attached with predators.

Tl;dr : this is a very hesitant idea of mine and can be completely ignored. The bottom line is that Kha'Zix desperately needs a mini-reworkitem 3070 Khazix item 3070 . Please go read the article if you have time is quite interesting. And please add your own kit ideas! Thank you all!
