I don't even main (or have played) , but this skin freaken calls to me. It's really nice and appealing, but the biggest "Yes please" factor is when you evolve his R, so suddenly- Kha'Zix looks like a freaken beast of a mantis. I plan on getting this skin, but here's the thing:

I've been seeing a lot of people dislike the skin because it's "girly" or "not assassin like" ... Have you guys ever seen the real life Orchid Flower Mantis?

It'll still freaken kill it's prey in a heartbeat and make the average insect or small mammal it's meal before you can go "Oh how cut-". Never underestimate mother nature my friends. Anyways, I would still like to hear your thoughts.

I don't like the evolved R colour change. Really ruins the skin for me. Instead of a pretty Orchid blossom, it looks like a dying one.

I know it's for visual clarity but I just think it's ugly.

Heh, i've seen a lot of people hate his first skin, but love his R evolved skin. There are others like you who hates his R evolved, but love his orchid skin.

I'm one of those whom loves both versions, but adores the R stage more XD

I find the evolved R skin color suiting for a few reasons.

His R is his stealth correct? Wouldn't it make better sense for him to blend in with his environment better than be vibrant colored and the most noticable thing on the field? Turning him darker makes him blend into grass a bit better and perhaps fall season colors. Orchids don't blend in with anything, and orchids are really small making it unlikely he'd even blend in with those (it works for real world orchid mantis but they're one of the tiniest mantis species out there). The evolved R makes him better in stealth.

I love it, the only let down to the skin for me is it's VO, from what I watched/seen he has no VO at all (when you evolve, or from what i seen with when you taunt, he says nothing at all). I don't know if that only because of early development, but that'd be a major let down if the final project was released like that. I do know it's incomplete though since his recall animation isn't even finished.

As far as apparence goes, it's amazing. I particularly love his facial expression in this skin which makes him look more alive and eager to kill prey rather than the other skins where kha'zix just looks extremely serious. He looks like he actually enjoys what he does.

I'm considering buying RP now just to be ready for it's release, even though it's probably 2 weeks from now.

Yea, they're most definitely going to fix that recall animation since he's jumping onto a flower. As for the VO, I cannot say. What I love about the skin is how much detail & effects are coming into play whenever you evolve an ability. What screams "sold!" to me is his evolved R state. It's glorious and I think it definitely suits his "that feels goooodd" personality.

My thoughts? Well I play Kha'zix somewhat often and when I saw this skin I was soooooooo happy that I didn't buy any of his other skins. I am 100% buying this skin.

I saw this skin and fell in love. I don't really play Kha'Zix, but this skin makes me want to main him! Getting it as soon as it comes out.

I think the skin doesnt look "cool" enough. Im just wondering, who do they think will buy the skin? Since kha zix is not a popular champion in general, i think not a lot of female gamers will play this champion, but i think a skin like that is more appealing to female gamers.

I mean, if they would make a Death Blossom Ahri skin i would be like, great idea...smart. Hell, even i would buy an Ahri Death Blossom skin, because it would most likely look great. But a Death Blossom Kha zix....i dont know about that, doesnt really fit the champion.

Btw, the R evolve skin is straight up ugly.

Now that we have seen the splash, I think this skins needs some ingame updates, since the splash is really awesome and the ingame model is mediocre at best. I know many people dislike the evolved R colors, but imo the normal colors look waaaay better in the splash, compared to ingame. Why are his scythes pink, and is his whole body "glowing" purple. The splash shows his body in a light purple that glows blue with shoulder spikes and scythes being a flashy fluorescent blue. That is the way to go with this skin for me, it is much more resonant with DB elise, and way cooler than the conflicting colorscheme of pink with blue purple, instead of just blue purple. The splash shows potential, let the skin be as cool as that please.

For me what makes the splash better is that the shoulder spikes and scythes stand out, sort of as the blossoming part of the skin (like DB elise flower body/butt).
