HOW is Trinity force bad on Kha?

Kovah·Nov 15, 2014·1 votes·1,583 views

Was 7-1 because I rushed Trinity force and destroyed the early/mid game. As soon as teamfights came around they focused me soooo hard because I was fed, I actually couldn't do anything about it. We end up losing the game and I get an earfull from my team that we lost JUST because I built trinity on Kha. Enemy Akali says, and I quote "It's bad, you are wrong, shut the fuck up you don't deserve to play this game", without even attempting to say why. Now please, explain how its a bad item on Kha. I max my ult so I get 3 periods of burst which works perfectly with the TF cooldown. Everything about it screams assassin.

I wouldn't say trinity force is bad on Khazix but I would say it isn't ideal, there are items that compliment him better. Like brutalizer, last whisper, and hydra.

Okay item but rather expensive.

You'd be better off getting a last whisper and brut for roughly the same gold.

EDIT: Just saw your game and honestly, the BT was a bad buy. They had a better late game comp and your window to win was early. Also, even tho you had 7 kills, you did nothing with those, you had 0 objectives, nothing. All you had was a single dragon 15 minutes in. Your farm is quite bad as well, you ended up with the 4th lowest gold amount and combined that with a lackluster item and a terrible one, you were pretty much irrelevant once the other team starting getting good items for their champs. You've built badly and you got punished for it.

Once I realized I was the only one on my team combined with 4 dead weights, It didn't matter. I think that is the first game I have EVER built BT on Kha, you can check on that. I did absolute work until I got focused, at which point I tried to surrender and didn't care as much until we lost. Don't act like you just know I was going tryhard the entire match when in fact I was only trying until I realized our inevitable defeat.

I dont think you realize that you yourself became dead weight with your items, low farm and lack of any objective. YOu did work but shot yourself in the foot in the process.

So I shot myself in the foot on purpose and you think I shot myself in the foot on accident? I see the mistake.

khazix relies hard on his abilities, you're better off buying armor penetration and damage, or even some resistances rather than paying over 1200g for these stats

Critical Hit % Mana AP Attack Speed

You are much better off with these items as all the stats they provide scale harder with Khazix than the 4 stats listed above

Brutalizer->Black Cleaver Last Whisper Ravenous Hydra

or even resistances such as Randuin's Omen Spirit Visage // Banshee's Veil (Especially if you're against Akali) Guardian Angel

All of these items are better buys than Trinity Force by far. Like I said you're paying more than 1200g for stats that Kha'zix scales VERY poorly with just so you can have Spellblade, which isn't even that powerful on Kha'zix.

Not going to comment on the general case since I do not play him, but in that game most of the enemy team was at least close to you in gold by the time you finished Trinity Force.

its expensive. its not useful. u are looking to clean up in team fights with ur 2 second Q. u wont have time to autoattack. maybe u can autoattack the tanks but mostly ull need to burst people. so its not useful. go outside kid.

It's good but not a good first item.

It's not a bad choice on Kha'. There are simply so many better options.

Typical builds go along the lines of item 3134 item 3158 item 3074 item 3035

Once you've got your core, you can pick and choose whatever you want. A good defensive item like item 3083 item 3143 item 3102

Then fill your build out from there. Finish Brutalizer and grab an item for some more AD. I see some people go item 3071 but I usually go item 3142 for the speed boost active. For a final AD item, you can really pick whatever you want.
