kha zix's isolation should be reworked into a mechanic that actualy works

90% of his ballance problems comes down to things caused by isolation

either he is op and isolation is just a bonus, then people actualy play him ecuase he works or he is up because he needs to rely on that isolation, ofc when he fights an isolated target he works as intended, but he cant get isolated targets

as an assasin kha zix is the most gated champion ever when it comes to doing his job its easier for yasuo to ult when his team doesnt have any "knockups" and he doesnt use his tornado, than for kha zix to get that isolation for long enough to assasinate (yasuo can ult from any displacement, like hooks/grabs, champion made terrain, quinns distruption etc )

so the thing is that isolation is a core thing for kha'zix, but its too bizzare and restrictive to allow him to function in game, thats why kha zix is only viable when his kit is op enough in itself to work without isolation at all

So it seems logical for me that kha zix's isolation should be manipulated in a way that allows him to archieve it more often

The most simple things that i can think of is that one of kha zix's abilities forces an isolation on someone for a certain time (preferably his passive), but thats just a suggestion

The issue is counterplay. By giving Kha's passive the ability to cause isolation all the Kha specific counterplay goes. He just needs to AA before pressing Q.

What Kha needs is a tactical way of causing isolation. The last way this was tried was with a stronger W, clear minions around an otherwise isolated player and then jump in for the kill. Unfortunately, it was used for poking, sieging and wave/jungle clearing as well, effectively removing all of Kha's strategic weaknesses. It had to go.

Can you think of a way for Kha to cause isolation while still offering his opponents a way to avoid it?

so lets say that kha's void assault causes the isolation range to drop significantly for couple seconds (mabybe the same time as he stealths) enemies can avoid it ... kha can actualy pull it off, and his evolwed ult gains some more benefits that would atract players

btw did you just downvote the thread becuase of the proposition ... proposition is a proposition, thread is my point

I didn't downvote the thread. I like discussion.

I like this idea better than the last. It would need adjustments so that Kha doesn't just jump out of the fog of war while invisible and destroy an opponent when they are grouped but it has promise.

everything that exist works and everything that don't work do not exist. dose kah six exist? yes -> he works. Try use logic before you speak dear op

kha zix's isolation as a mechanic has a role of shaping his assasin gameplay in its current version kha cant assasinate becuase isolation prevents it almoust completly

hence the mechanic doesnt work, it does not shape his gameplay as an assasin it removes it
