On Kha'zix... rrrrrage...

Savage the King··1 votes·650 views

Khazix I dont know at other elos, but im silver 1 and I wanted to discuss the fact that this champion is particularly broken imho. I mean he does exaggerately high damage to isolated targets and gets so fed every game I see him. Either the range of isolated targets could be nerfed, or the amount of bonus damage he does, or the resets, but I feel his kit is broken. Am I the only one having this opinion? Are there ways to plays against him I don't know yet about? Khazix

Isolation range is 600 and gets cancelled out by even the weakest creeps. counter-strategy to Kha'zix is stay close to minions and, bar that, go in groups. He's not the kind of guy you can 1v1 easily.

problem is, its very easy for him to get fed and snowball given this isolation dmg and leap... anyhow i am just wondering whether the meta is about tons of dmg over anything else.

The thing is Kha'zix is an Assassin: He's all about high single-target damage and mobility, which is the meta currently, but he's not very survivable (more survivable than a few others I've played but still.) But yea, if tons of damage was the only thing in this meta, everyone would be playing assassin-type characters. It's not though: There are many elements in the meta, the most potent right now though are speed and power, which Kha'zix and his foe (prey) Rengar are.

If you aren't playing a character with a blink, dash, or speed boost, then you have to be able to hold your ground. Kha'zix may be able to get good damage, but an Assassin's greatest weakness is a Tank, because they survive the initial burst rotation that makes Assassins such nightmares, and after that the assassin can only hope they don't get crushed before you finish with them.

I'd recommend fighter-type or tank-type champions to make an effective counter, like Darius or use someone with a butt load of CC (which is also their weakness: If they can't get in that initial combo, their power is DRASTICALLY reduced)

I tried a hybrid XinZhao (tabi tf sunfire visage lizard nashors) and it effectively beat a fed kha. HAPPY ZIN!!!

As a summoner who plays Khazix, I just want to say that as soon as someone is isolated, his damage increases by at least twofold. But his damage is offset by how squishy he is; once he is cced, he can be bursted down by most ap mids, and even adcs. When going against a Kha as well, he is similar to Rengar in the respect that you should not be moving around the map by yourself once they have ult. Stick together as a team, and if Kha/Rengo jumps you, hard cc them, and burst them down. They should not be a problem then.

Tx for the advice. HOWEVER. The problem is not much about late game but the horrible feeding that he (usually) gets early game. When a 4/0 Khazix jumps on my lane, even if I get a countergank, our 1/1/2 Udyr ... will not be able to help much.

The range on isolation is kind of lame. I've been an inch away (20 inch monitor) from an ally and I'm still counted as isolated. He is an assassin though, and the whole assassin line of champs is problematic to be honest (100-0 quickly with barely any chance to retaliate isn't a lot of fun for some.)

I feel this way too I used to play Kha'Zix and I was pretty good if I do say so myself but after the patch they nerfed him so hard even if I find myself outplaying early game and getting fed 4 kills in the end I just don't do the damage I used to as Kha'Zix then later game whoever it was I was making rage type ends up destroying me.
