K6 Preseason Jungle

I've played K6 since the day of his launch and i think this is it, he was designed as an ad caster especially because he wouldnt benefit from his basic attacks, and being an assasin in the way, but he wasnt popular until the s3 worlds and everyone started playing him, and then came the nerfs q wasnt on missing life % and his w couldnt be thrown while in air and the passive proc, killing his air combo and leaving just the airslash, then the "riot balance" came and just tried to do things on him while not looking at his desing, i mean yes he could do large amounts of damage but it required the target to be isolated and still nerfed even that, in high elo you never see the teams getting isolated because they know your counterplay and you are almost useless.

Still i wanted to play him and i learned a way to dragon lvl 4 like the other competitive junglers like udyr and ww, it worked even without the percentage damage q, i builded full pen items jg item, brutalizer, last whisper, and sighstone, sighstone was the most important part on the build because i could figure when my targets were isolated and only with that posibility and build i could do a thing.

Now riot took off all the pen items and the only way i could aproach a crit was youmuus, hydra is a good item but it didnt gave me the posibility to burst and still tiamat got nerfed!, so my last item was mercurial scimitar(the only item that got "buffed") and without items and the last nerfs i think riot realized that his model desing was balanced because he wasnt beneficial with basic attacks and this preseason is all about those champions, i mean jax or yi jg can just kill all your team if a player has common sense, xin ap is back and is inmortal, ww, udyr, rengar and with all those changes leesin was still viable because of his kit, i saw one that even without farming his ult did so much cc and damage that he could kill.

Not only the item but the masteries too, without the damage buffs i see how a target survives with a q+w when it could be killed just with one q, there is no ad and ap burst mastery bringing up mundo jg viable with dft and keeping viable tanks like rammus, but casters like maokai that were inteded jungler from the begginings can't jungle, or fiddelsticks left without a build path, there are champions with no hard cc that can't do a thing like evelynn her ult almost doesn't slows, while leesin has a free cc bursty ult even tahm kench is better pick because his q has almost the same slow that her ult and with 6s cd while not mentioning the "stun" and free 20% total life free on his w following a stun with another q.

The only thing that was good from all these changes is that invisibility champions are viable again now that there is no longer the pink trinket.

Either buff the damage basic jg item or nerf the sated devourer, runeglaive brought just elise because dianas build more often devourer and casted off fidd, please riot balance your items and think about your "major preseason jg changes".

When it takes me more than 2 minutes to figure out which champ you're even talking about, there might be a problem.

Now, as far as Kha'zix, Riot has already mentioned that he and other AD assassin jungle champs are a bit underwhelming currently with the recent changes. Kha himself is a weak champ currently if he can't get fed or fight an isolated enemy, which as you've mentioned SHOULD be nearly impossible mid/late game due to teams grouping for objectives and fights. There might be buffs for the bug in the future, but maybe a few QoL changes might help him a little more to be competitive against junglers like Xin, Diana, Rengar.
