About Kha

Earl Eulrich·Apr 8, 2014·4 votes·577 views

So just to quote from a post about why Rengar had to be reworked:

Rengar's was somewhere between "Fighter" and "Assassin." (Hint, if you ever see a class combined with another at the same time, instead of a choice between them based on build etc, then that guy is likely BS). His pattern asked you to build up, but his damage was that of a burst assassin - incompatible gameplay levers.

What do you suppose is Kha at the moment, if not the most effective hybrid of Assassin and Fighter? He has constant Burstspikes+a 50%dmg reduction that also provides the tools to stick to a target no matter what.

Kha is an assassin, he has no tanky steroid and blows up fast, hence, tons of dmg to compensate.

If a flat 50%dmg reduction is not a tanky steroid than maybe Alistar is an assassin too.

While I agree with you that he does have a tank steroid, it's all of 6 seconds total on an ult level cooldown. That's why they added the extra second(or so?) between casts so it's not as reliable as it has been. Kha also builds mainly damage. Rengar could build almost full tank and still triple-Q for tons of damage. He had too much of an assassin feel (jump on and delete a target with huge damage) and fighter (able to survive with free tank stats and items). He could just be like "ROAR" every 10 seconds or less and have tank stats. Kha actually has to think about it.

Am I saying Kha isn't broken? No. Like I said, they just nerfed him and I agree with the nerfs. But his problem is not "his kit is somewhere between Assassin and Fighter" as Rengar's was. Kha's problem is he deals tons of damage, then you have no idea where he is, and then he deals more damage, and there just isn't the window you need to shut him down.

Thank you. This guy... I don´t think he understands what Tank, Fighter, and Assassin means...

So, I'm a bit lost, is this a clarification? Saying that a hybrid can work? I'm sort of missing the point of this I think.

i think its another one of those, what is Khazix at the moment if hes not an assassin, you know how much we bump heads on these threads m8

I actually play Kha'zix whenever I can, and he's easily my favorite carry jungler right now. I never have a bad game on him, I never have trouble sustaining or clearing jungle, never any problems taking objectives or buffs, never any trouble counter jungling. I also find it really easy to build him by the situation. I can either go straight damage or build a little off tank to help peel and survive a high burst enemy composition. I'm just a bit uncertain as to what the OP was trying to say with any of this.

ummm by design, Khazix is an assassin, if hes a fighter then riddle me this, if Blitzcrank is listed as a FIGHTER, then why is he only SUPPORT or TANK?\

EDIT: When played anyway

For those who wonder they he refers to Kah as assasin/fighter:

*What is it that makes an assasin an assasin? *
the combination of quick burst and high mobillity, allowing to easily close in on a priority target, get of a quick burst, and then disengage till the next rota is ready.

*Does Kah fit here? Yes! * His E alows to close in, the Q+W+AA+passive alow for a fast and strong burst, and if he gets the kill the E-reset gets him out again, if not his Ult allows to disegage aswell, and it can also be used to re-engage.

What does make a fighter a fighter?
Initial tankiness(or enough dmg to built tanky and still be a huge threat), good singletarget dps with burstspikes, high sticking power due mobillity/cc.

Does Kah fit here? Yes!
His W heal and R-dmg reduce give him alot tankiness, and the %dmg of his Q aswell as the overall high dmg allow him to be a threat with only armor pen, so he can go tanky if needed. His E + passive slow + W slow + Ult speedbuff + more passive slow grant him insane stickiness, his low cd Q and up to 4 passive procs in short succession alow him for high, spiky singletarget dps.

So Kah fills the role off a fighter and a assasin at the same time, he does not have to realy choose, just like old rengar, so why does rengar get (rightfully) reworked, but kah stays untouched if working hybridclasses are BS(quote in the original post)
