No where did I say that the heal "pushed him over the edge in to OP". It's just one of the many things part of his kit that I am baffled by. I say that he is a stupid champion because he has everything relative to other champions. Oh did I mention his damage reduction, and no collision in his kit as well? It's stupid. When you have everything, of course he is "interesting" with many different play styles. Lane Khazix has clearly defined strengths and weaknesses, and a smart lane allocation, depending on which team, will lead to the Khazix getting a good advantage or getting shut down. And lane Khazix is the only realistic scenario where he will be farming up a Hydra, and I'm completely fine with that. Khazix jungle looking OP is a side function of how the new jungle item works + isolation's Wight interaction. It's not something that's inherent to Khazix. | ||

It is ridiculous when you have isolated claws + lizard eldar you can drop like 900 damage isolations on dragon and solo it retarded fast tbh | ||

This patch ruined Kha and he is now a free elo train that is not fun to play. Soon they are going to give Kat a ranged aa so she has the same power curve as other mid laners also no more resets on E/R. | ||

I'm still having trouble understanding why he's "one of the most interesting champion riot ever released." Maybe by "interesting", do you mean overpowered? Khazix/Rengar/Elise suffer from the same issue where they were stupidly broken champions on release, took a patch or so to get understood, then got nerfed on pretty much every ability, forced out of intended roles to other positions and are still able to maintain relevancy because of their stupidly superior kits. You mention the jungle items, but I'm not sure what your argument is. Are you suggesting because he isn't the only one who benefit's from the newly changed jungle items that it's okay? My two cents on Khazix. I don't have anything else to say on this matter. | ||

I'm sorry, but if you could explain what you mean by this to me I'd really like to know what you mean. To mean, that statement, generically stated, is: If you ignore champion X's defining feature, it plays like champion Y which is a generic Jack-of-all-Trades champion. | ||

Draven and cait. Otherwise does well in all other lanes. Overall generically solid laner. Has solid self peel with ulti/spellshield. Frontloaded damage with q-ricochet, similar to lucian burst with his q-passive-w-passive stuff. | ||

My two cents on Khazix. I don't have anything else to say on this matter. He's strong, not overpowred. He doesn't, despite what you may think, do everything. He has strengths and weaknesses, and is probably one of the most diversified characters right now with playstyles that are fairly unique while being strong, which is something that is generally sorely lacking in League. | ||

This is completely different than say, S3 Kha and Zed, who you couldn't play against because they had A - strong waveclear that let them lane without actually interacting with the enemy laner, B - Ranged harass for when they couldn't engage, C - Enough engage and burst to kill the other guy really whenever they wanted, and D - the ability to disengage out of a fight after killing somebody, which older Assassins like Talon couldn't really do. Basically they took A and B away, and now suddenly he's a neato champion instead of being stupid. | ||

Soloing dragon as Khazix is a very risky play at the competitive level, and you really don't see it that much. The risk-reward is fine. And again, as you mentioned, it's enabled by the jungle items, not necessarily just Khazix alone. can u be more biased? khazix is beyond broken right now pretty much every pro player said that after IEM but no its better to hate and whine on lee sin l0l | ||

Got him for free off a skin code, played ~5 games? of him. Also I don't care what pro players say lol LCS players have historically shown a terrible understanding of the game followed by complete 180s. Not all of them of course but it's not a rare occurrence. If you look at the league that matters (Champions), you'll see of the 24 games played so far, Kha'zix has made an appearance in 18 of the 24 games, but primarily as a pick and not a ban, (and when as a pick, only around 1/3 of the times as a first pick instead of some majority number) proving that he's strong but not overbearingly so. | ||
