Is Kha'zix a good jungler?

I like void champs and thought i'd get him, since I can't seem to settle on a jungler and don't really like the current meta junglers. I heard he was a bit weak right now, but is he viable? I do plan to play him in ranked (implying I do end up buying him). If he IS good, any tips?

The short answer is no, not right now (in this meta and his nerfs).

no he's really squishy, he sucks at team fighting, and he has somewhat bad early clearing. I may get down voted but there's really nothing he does that someone such as (including but not limited to) Nidalee does better. With Cinderhulk so strong right now, I DO suggest a tanky jungler, but if not go someone such as Lee Sin, Vi, or J4 (they conquered about a month ago, but they're still quite strong) who can build Warrior.

in this current meta, no he's too squishy his passive is....very bad at the moment and he got struck with alot of nerfs that make him seriously useless

The meta right now is dominated by tanks. He is very weak in the meta, if you are going to use him, you need to get really good with him

Khazix isn't awful and you can potentially do well with him, but right now a tank jungler will have much more of an impact in the game, and you will never beat them 1 on 1. He needs buffs; if the other team takes Volibear or Sejuani against you will will have next to no game presence

If you want to try him out, go for it; he does take some practice to get used to, and by the time you have that practice he'll probably be buffed up some.

For tips, remember to always evolve Q or E first and second (in some order). Don't be the teamfight initiator; you're an assassin, so wait until a priority target is isolated then go in on them. You will need to build at least one tank item to survive late game (Randuins or Frozen Heart work nicely), and armor pen is really good on him (Last whisper is good, Black Cleaver is expensive but great on him).

Extra Tip: you can Q an enemy during your leap (E) if you're in range to do it.

Kha'Zix is my jungler main i love him, i have also carried my team with him. Yes, he's squishy but his passive is really good in 1v1 if you can catch a single enemy lurking around in the jungle on in lane isolated you can eliminate them easily and be out with his e. I've gotten quadras with him at level 6 because of his passsive, hes a good champ if you master him. He doesnt have very good sustain but theyll buff his W soon. HEs good if your willing to put time into him You also have to know what youre evolving Get his E first for ganks and to be in n out then get his q so you can do some dmg and get his R last get the trailblazer with the purple upgrade lol i forgot what its called and find your build
