Kha Zix is just a champion that blows my mind. All the nerfs and changing metas and he will always be relevant because his kit is just fucking perfect.

Perfect is one word for it.

"Has absolutely everything all at once" is another. I'm sure a German could make that only one word.

Could anyone who plays malzahar tell me how he gets so tanky? I was a 6 item Lucian, and it took 10~ seconds to kill a malzahar... most AP mids I would have killed in 3 autos

Generally run armor and mr in runes rather than the usual hp and scaling ap blues/yellows because you're a target in laning phase and in teamfights, also you generally get RoA which adds a good chunk of hp

I mean it depends on his build too, if he was doing something like RoA Rylai Liandry Hourglass which is kinda silly but has its place in certain teamcomps it would explain it.

You can do double jumps if you have tiamat/hydra because you can use the active mid jump to get reset.

You just need the person to die since it resets on assists too. Otherwise you can cast Q and auto during the jump (they removed W because otherwise he could do his full combo in under a second and kill people without giving the ability to react).

Some of these jumps are pointless and just for style since the fight is over when he does it, and if I'm not mistaken you don't deal the damage if you jump again before you land. It's normal if some in the video don't seem to make sense.

To do that KhaZix double jump you have to kill the target with jump+Q then jump immediately after in that small time frame while you're still in the air so it looks like a flashy double jump

It's only doable on very low ping. No chance in hell an east coaster could pull that micro off. When you have virtually no delay, there's nothing stopping you.

The more I use ludens, the more I'm thinking it's much more about the ability to wave clear with it. Played it Kog, and Xerath, even being behind in lane, I've been able to stall out games for 20 minutes, by myself, simply by being at tower and wave clearing. Pretty hilarious watching the enemy team try and figure out waht to do as you constantly wave clear lanes like crazy.

I just had a dream where I played Ashe against Vayne's Piglet. It was a tournament game. We lost unfortunately. After the game I asked Piglet what he thought of me as a player. He said I was a "drategic" (a dream world word mixing of drastic and strategic) player and was not that good.

So now it is 315 am, I have work tomorrow, but I am playing soloQ to prove him wrong.

This is based solely off of a few ARAMs with Zilean, but holy shit I feel that there is some potential there if you can make it to lategame. The stun is hard to hit but it's fucking HUGE if you nail it in a teamfight, and your ult is pretty much always up at level 3.

Seems like a bug (HAW!) to me. You'd think being mid jump and half a screen away would restrict your ability to Q but apparently it's coded from where you jumped until you land?

When he kills a Rengar from the bush between top-side red buff and nashor's pit, you can see that he just casts Q right after the jump and it's the animation playing while he's moving fast in the air.
That's because of the jump's speed, since otherwise Kha'Zix's Q's animation is super short and the damage is instant (with no upswing afaik), it's just he finishes the animation after the jump moves him away.

Yeah that's bullshit. you just have to take ping into account and buffer your spells. I mean, you do buffer them anyway, but in this case youd just have to do it 0.1 second earlier. After whole night of inhouses on NA I can usually do insec kicks and this doesn't seem harder.

Actually let me retract that cause I'm not sure at this point how riot's coding works - does it check spell availability client side or server side? Because if it's the former then it'd actually mean that you can only use the second jump 0.1s after it's actually available and buffering wouldn't work.
