Problems for Kha'zix

This new pre-season has left of assassin of the void in a but of a tough spot.

Warrior enchantment having its armor pen removed hurts early game so very much. Sure, it gives a bit more AD. But that's not as useful as ignoring a bit of armor.

Tiamat has been dramatically changed. It no longer offeres it's passive to help your clear speeds, putting you behind in farm and ability to gank compared to before.

Last whisper having been changed to only effect bonus armor drastically hurts his ability to successfully assassinate priority targets. When you jump onto an adc, or other high value target, being unable to kill them quickly becomes a liability. Last whisper used to be a major power spike for Kah'zix, and that power no longer is available.

These are the major changes ive noticed from my experience, seeing others play him in the current patch, and what ive seen on the boards.

Im really hopping something can be done for the bug, he's so very fun to play.

His first clears need some serious help, but in my experience your first item after Warrior Enchant should be Death's Dance. The new item turns his burst into some serious sustain, the CDR means your tools are available more frequently, and the damage-to-bleed conversion gives you a lot more survivability.

Hunter's Talisman is quite frankly not a very good item, and you can't take Refillable Potion to start off as Kha'Zix; in my opinion three red pots for first run and then get Hunter's Potion when you back, and even then you have to be a bit careful with your clears.

Also, maybe it's just me or are the Last Whisper items in general are just not satisfying or effective?

Can we stop pretending Assassins have problems with the new patch? so what if your precious Warrior enchant lost it's armour pen, it now has 20 more AD and Maw now has armour pen, in addition Youmuu's has 30 more AD in addition to it's stupid high armour penetration, and also Last Whisper lost it's attractiveness as a core item on Assassins since squishies dont even stack armour, so just build Black Cleaver instead, no harm done.
