Maybe he just doesn't do well vs. Darius. Probably I'm just bad. Are people building him standard DBlades into BT into more kill stuff? Also, I just miss with his AA all the time.  Jungling with him was good though. Jump ganks fun. Took me like half a game to realize his Q isnt an on attack effect and is actually a targeted spell -_-. His Q is WW's Q but shit tons better.

Some thoughts on Kha'Zix:
Kha'Zix definitely isn't great at teamfights. His stealth doesn't last long enough for you to get out of a teamfight, so if you go in, either you're all-in or you get a kill and reset your evolved E and jump out immediately.
Also, the cooldown on the initial cast of his ult is fairly long, so you can't really ult -> auto -> ult again -> auto very quick. This means that while he has decent burst, he needs a few seconds to apply his full combo, similar to ahri.
I've been playing him almost exclusively top lane. As jungler his ult is really good for starting a gank, but as a top laner his ult is really only useful for securing a kill once you've engaged. Aside from that, late-game it's useful for juking in the jungle, but won't do much in a teamfight. Because of this, I usually don't get his ult evolution at all. Early-game evolving his Q is better for laning phase, and then late-game you need the mobility from E and the teamfight damage from W.
It's important to note that his gap-closer is also his only escape. If you haven't built tanky, and you jump into a teamfight, you better a) have evolved E, and b) get a kill almost immediately so you can jump back out. Otherwise, you're dead.

Can't you just stealth to a nearby bush depending on the location of the fight?

I didnt know what to build alst game so i just went double dorans bruta BT then phage and some random shit after. Any really recommended builds for him?

I think CLG.eu give you the best odds compared to chance they have.
nope I'd say best odds/best chances title goes to iG and Najin Sword.

Ive been going boots phange BT wits finish mallet glacial situational to a decent amount of success.

i really like iG and Najin for the title, but the fact is:
1. they're 23 to 1 compared to WE and TPA's 34 to 1 2. they have to play group stages which are bo1 -_-
overall it makes me feel like WE is an overall more solid bet and i would bet on them but i haven't seen them play with new lineup in a while so iono

You know you've lost a lot of Elo when you can first pick Mundo, steal Amumu's red and kill their top laner with a level 2 gank without breaking a sweat again.

Somehow when I dropped below 1230, the quality of games is phenomenally worse than at 1250-1300
4 games in a row people in pregame chat start off with "fuck you" for no apparently reason, and at least one hard random each game.
But my enemies are so bad I'm still able to win like half of these just ignoring my whole team and playing 1v5. Why do people play this game when they have no intention of winning in the first place and no cognitive capacity for self-improvement?

Hey it's just like 1800 elo.

I´ve lost a shit ton of ELO aswell and in the last game our team was Lee sin jungle (me), leblanc mid, trynd top and ez/karma bot lane. We won.....
Picks really don´t matter at low ELO. I´d say it´s 40% snowballing, 50% throws and 10% pick/teamcomps.

Lol, after every game your premade 5 all gives you honor points each, EZ honorful person

Smurfed at 1600 elo on EU w at 17:00 -> 20:00 , people are incredibly nice. I can't play junglers for shit mid and lategame and I almost lost us the game multiple times but they just gave obvious advice and didn't get mad.

I just noticed that in all but one of the games I've played over this last week, there was a Rengar in each one.
I also really hate his ulti. It feels like unless you carry a vision ward and get lucky when you drop it, or you happen to have your oracles nearby he gets a free escape every time. It really needs a fade in time or something. And sometimes he doesn't even need to escape. Pop ulti when low, swing around the back, bye bye carry. What the hell just happened.

I'm at 1200-1300 right now.
Just won a game where we were behind by 10-20 kills. (And we still won after losing baron.)
I'll go with Hankafrog... Many games are decided by snowball effect. ALOT OF THROWS HAPPEN, so a game is never over. In my game, one of their guy DCed for 5 minutes (still, they were so AHEAD that 4v5 was hard). But the DC bought us some time. Then, after he reconnected, they started doing stupid stuffs (worse than my team), and we've won because we sticked together.
I dunno if I can make it to 1500 (for the reward!)... I'll need like 10+ consecutive wins (at 20 elo each). If I stick with a 2:1 ratio, that's still 30+ games.
The honor system looks interesting. Is it already up?
As long as you can't honor someone multiple time, I'm fine with this. In fact, why don't they just build a reputation system? You are good? You get honored. You have a bad attitude? Team can report you (if needed), and you also get some bad karma. And then, you put bad people with bad people, good with good. So good people get more quality and friendly game. The other people are dropped into ELO hell... eh I mean behavior hell

What I meant is that I know the level dropped when I can get away with stuff I couldn't when at 1400+. Trashed an Alistar in his jungle without anyone moving a finger yesterday too.
Also regarding premade 5s that honor each other, maybe it isn't available to players in premades? And they said that if you spam it you'll run dry.

Edit: just as I wrote that I realized you're still matched with opponents so idk
