Is it about time to give Kha'zix a new skin?

Leo Plandale··2 votes·658 views

Kha'zix is not just my main champ, but also my most loved one. His special lore and his isolated personality simply attracts me. This champ has provided me varied feelings as I play him --- and I believe the same is to many other summoners. Now, besides the original splash art, Kha'zix has only two other skins: Mecha and Guardian of the Sands. I reckon that the purpose of skins is naturally an increase of the gaming conditions, such as a better feeling when playing the champ, or simply attracts the player to the champ even more. I think it's undeniable that Kha'zix has a lot of potentials on having more skins. A champ so special and unique, I believe that more skins can only provide him more popularity; since such is the ultimate purpose of having skins. In addition, I think that although Riot has been trying to make Kha'zix stronger, like the buffered w and e abilities in the recent patches, it is obvious that Kha'zix's popularity has been taken away from the new champs. Of course, I'm not saying that it is a BAD thing, I'm simply saying that it would be very nice if Kha can obtain more attention; or at least create the fear like he did in S2. In short, I believe that Kha'zix deserves a new skin, maybe a last skin; I understand my selfishness of saying such requests, but I do believe that there is a lot of summoners like me having the same wishes. So please, Riot, before giving champs that already have 4+ skins new looks, why not look over those that can be more worthy?

We need a "definitely not" Rengar/ Kha'zix skins where they dress up like each other.

@ Leo, would you suggest Kha mid/top? I hate jungling XD

I wouldn't really suggest mid, since Kha got nerfed too much comparing S2, but top should be fine. The only problem is that Kha is only around middle level top atm, so it doesn't really work out like how malph or poppy dominates.

I would still recommend you jg; you can try another way to jg. For example, whenever i play Kha, i ask bot line to hard leash me and ill save the smite to go counter jg as soon as i reach lvl 2. Note that Kha's q's isolation and w's heal made him very strong early game. Mostly, if it doesn't go wrong, the enemy jg would start at their own buffs when you find them. They won't have smite as they already spent it on the first monsters, and buff will already focus on the jgs so its very easy to kill them, getting first blood + first buff. Then you go back and get your own buff. Sometime when the enemy runs away, get the buff and go back, only try to catch up if you're sure of the kill. This method is very beneficial yet equally risky. But a buff at about 3 min could help you a lot early game. then just keep counter jg them so that you can easily disable the enemy jg. Aware of the map ofc.

I usually go this method and it does work almost 9 out of 10 games. For some jg champs tho, for example shaco udyr or ramous, it doesn't really work as much as countering vi, yi, or even some tank jgs like voli or malph. Its important to be aware of whats happening. Good luck mate :3

My humble opinion...

Kha Zix mid is quite viable against any sort of squishy mage champions. Mid laners don't normally buy pink wards, so when you all-in them with your ultimate, you can get a really good lead. He has a built in escape (E), sustain with his W, and his targets are almost always Isolated (Q). I find one of the main downsides is that his Passive rarely procs when laning, and you have go get all the way out to proc it again. So far, I think it's a pretty good Idea to try Kha Zix out in the mid lane.

Have fun!

Soul Reaver Kha Zix would be soooooo cool

I would love if he got a paired skin with Rengar.

I would love even more if he and Rengar got chroma packs. A green one for the base Kha'Zix would be really cool.

Agreed. I don't really care how specific the new skin should be like, but a paired skin with Rengar is of course reasonable. I only wish that a new skin can make him more attractive, no need to hide his potentials

He should get an ultimate skin because of the evolution changes. It makes the most sense for him.
