The only champ that isn't good on that list is kha everyone else is fine.You could add any of the following
top-gnar/liss/akali mid-azir/xerath/katarina jungle-olaf/j4 ad-sivir/graves supp-janna/morg/annie

cass is getting popular as well but dunno if she is reliable enough yet.

You need Lissandra. She goes top, she goes mid, and she is a very strong champion. It also looks like there's no planned nerfs in the future for her either so pick her up!

finally started learning gnar... yep that dude's pretty broken only thing unfamiliar in the beginning was his lower attack range so I missed quite a lot of cs the first few games.

Do you guys build dmg items like bruta or triforce onn him or just straight up tank?

Depends on how the lane goes . Winning lane -> bruta or phage first. Even or losing -> giant's belt.
But I try to get at least 1 damage item on him every game.

Hexdrinker is superior choice in almost every situation considering amount of double ap comps in soloqueue nowdays.

But anyway, hexdrinker/phage/brutalizer into full tank into finishing your damage item is perfectly fine.

I always build tank gnar after brut/hexdrinker, can't imagine being squisher than he normally is.
Americans don't like to use unblockables, it is considered not honest. You press a button at the wrong time and hit the other person, you are random, not a top player. You DP Sim's far fierce, it is random and not honest.

Why is Kha slow? Get Tiamat before you finish Warrior and his clear is fine.
Resets are still pretty silly stuff.

First few clears still too struggle and he doesn't offer anything more than Lee/Rengar/Jarvan.

Teams keep drafting Elise for some weird reason don't really understand it personally.

Think Phage is kinda wasted on Gnar. There's nothing wrong with it per se but it's probably much better go to straight Hexdrinker or Brutalizer followed by Randuins if you're after HP and damage.

And what ad melee champ can't clear well with tiamat?The problem is getting it.The champion is good if you can snowball but his early isn't very strong and if you can't reliably get going that would make the champion not top tier.

Unless you are getting triforce phage is bad.

With the amount of double AP compositions being run in solo Q nowadays you can't really afford to get a full damage item as a top/jungler if you plan on being the tank for your team. Your main goal is to survive the burst so you can get onto the AP mages or ADC.

The reason why Rengar can still be decent this patch is because of the burst damage built into his kit, assuming you land all your skills and have the right amount of Ferocity built up. Kha can't do that because all his burst is now loaded onto his evolved Q PLUS they have to be isolated to get said burst. The resets are fine once you do get the damage, but you're basically saying, "I hope I can 100-0 some fool before I die/get CCed," and with how mobile the meta champs are right now that's not going to happen. At least Rengar can snare with a charged E before he leaps in.

If Kha is to be good again they either need to revert the nerf they applied to his isolation range way back in s4 or the meta needs to shift/move away from mobile champs and back to your immobile, high damage champs like Xerath, Jinx, and Kog'Maw.

Well, if the metric is Lee and J4, then go figure. But for the sake of solo q for your typical player, I still think Kha is fine. Giant gap closer with reset, such useful.
Why is Tiamat building a problem? Just go Stalker's into Pickaxe and finish. You'd normally go Stalker's into Brutalizer and finish Warriors. It's comparable imo.

I've had bad experiences with Rengar in solo q that I pretty much avoid him at this point. Also, you wouldn't pick Kha if you're worried about double AP and you want to go tanky. Kha is obv a wrong pick if that's the case, so the scenario is moot.

Tiamat is a lot of gold for an item that, idealy, you don't even want to buy anyway. Ontop of that, with the Rejuv beads it clutters inventory like all fuck, or leaves you with a ~650g combine cost if you choose to not buy them.

As usual, the first clear is the most important...

Problem with Kha'zix is he needs to get some kills to do much of anything, and if your clear is nothing to write home about the odds of that happening aren't great. I would consider him historically weak at the moment compared to where he's been in the past. Which is fine with me because screw that champion.

Might as well have something like Sejuani over Kha on the list.

wtf?

Building Tiamat and the max Q resets Kha'zix playstyle is probably just terrible now in S5. The clear with max Q is just unbearable both hp and mana wise and gl going Q resets style when underfarmed and underleveled. If you want to go Kha'zix just max W first evolve W first build full damage and poke. If you show me a progame where someone got Tiamat before Warrior I might reconsider but I am extremely sceptical of your proposition.

Well, the problem with Kha'zix is that he rather sucks. If he gets kills then you can't really see how much he sucks because he's fed, but you'd be better off with a different fed jungler anyway.

In what world are you living where you can go Stalker's into Pickaxe as Kha'zix LOL. It sure as hell isn't the one I'm in right now. Also LOL at calling Kha the obviously wrong pick when arguably the time when he was most dominant is when he went evolve R first with hexdrinker into tank which was brilliant vs double AP.

A champion who doesn't really do much and clears really slowly is bad. I'd probably rather play a champion who doesn't do anything and clears fast like Udyr lol.

His first clear is fine? I've finished Gromp Blue Wolves off one pot, can possibly do Red and Rocks if I pop the second pot. He's obv no Lee/J4 and has a slower power spike but I think his team fight ability offsets his slow(er) early game.

@Scip: W max first obv. And which game(s) are you talking about where you saw a Kha go R evolve first?

Lee and J4 are on the very slow jungle speed end of the spectrum. And no, his teamfights aren't good at all whether you max Q or W. He has the best poke from the jungle if you max W, good luck making use of that
