Skin for what champ? I haven't heard of such a champ.

Well... its kinda lame for some nations. Greeks got Cassio skin. Now italians will get draven skin. But germans and many other localised versions didnt recive anything. Back when ppl in poland got their polish localisation they had oportunity to get free xin zhao skin, but only if they participated in beta tests of polish client and was actively reporting bugs and so on.

I would say one of the most broken things would be his ability to do massive burst to a target and kill them then jump away thanks to his leap's evolution. His leap resets on kill or assist, so in team fights nobody is going to get away as long as he is alive.

Kat can techincally do the same, shunpo in, ult, kill, shunpo out. However, i'll certainly admit- Kha'zix can survive aggro better due to his ultimate, and has better single target burst than katarina, and katarina needs an ally to shunpo to. Zix doesn't, and his E is longer range anyways. Still, katarina's damage is AOE, which is a significant factor. Regardless though, kha'zix's damage on his Q is severely hurt if not isolated. It'll still hurt, but it's something like 33% less damage.

it's much more than that.  with 400 ad, your non-isolated Q does 450~500 damage, isolated, about 900~1000.  And that's not even adding the 12% damage, which usually adds another 200-300.

It's raw damage. You'll never get that far since players will eventually have some armor, and thing that you wouldnt get 400 ad on kha unless stacking occult up to 20 stacks, and skipping all kind of arpen in favour of pure AD. It might work since looks like that new meta to counter these sick armor and magic penetration is to build hp. It got cheaper and can counter both magic and physical damage at one time.

He wasnt used because he takes a beating top vs most bruisers. And most people are stuck on the idea of an AP mid rather than an AD.

Most champs take a while to fit in and be assessed if their role isnt immediately apperant. Remember how long it took people to realise Naut was good?

Also, @MerryLane, no, that is wrong, wrong, wrong. You just spouted a load of nonsense. The reason some champions work better at high elo is because they have are in some way team-dependant. Kha'zix is not team dependent. He jumps in, assasinates them, then jumps to the next or out. Like any assasin. Hes not a good top, because he is squishy and most tops are bruisers or tanks. Hes an okay jungle, but there are better than him. He is an excellent mid, which you failed to mention. He has excellent teamfighting potential. His W is a high-damage cone with a 40% slow. He has a high-damage Q that almost triples its damage against an isolated target(and that adc at the back is usually on their own) with a tiny cooldown of less than 4 seconds, a long ranged jump that resets on a kill or an asist meaning he can jump right to the prio target, kill them and jump to the next.You obviously dont understand the champion you are talking about.

Well... i dont agree with you that he is average top. Well he is squishy but he has some "features" that allows him to play against most of top matchups.

First of all he has quite good farming potential (if you will max W and evolve it first then with brutaliser you can literally farm whole creep wave from bushes ).

Second thing is that he can jump in for kill or out for his life. Not too many top/jungle matchups can stop him if he will freeze lane near river and keep his ward up all the time.

And last thing... Q deals massive dmg when isolated. And when your target goes tanky by stacking HP (armor could be always countered by arpen and you will deal shitloads of dmg as you get brutaliser and last whisper for example) you may choose to evolve Q prior to other spells. With that % of their hp bonus dmg and low cd on Q you can literally poke your enemy to death. And as he will go lower than for example 40% hp go full dps for kill.

Everyone has always evolved W or E first ... (the other coming second)

Nope I don't think this is because "we built him wrong" that he became viable. It's just that he was subpar at every elo without the S3 itemisation, and now with the S3 changes he became a bit better and some good players in high elo games can make a better use of the champions than compared to other champions.

It's not like he was miraculously rediscovered 2 weeks after he was out.

Well... you wouldn't say that nautilus sucks or at least sucked in S2. But the thing is that ppl after his release even tho most of rioters said that he is meant to be jungler still wanted to play champs like amumu or maokai if it was about Tanky AP CC jungler. And then after few weeks from the release stonewall and some others said that nautilus is not that weak and in fact he is quite good if it goes about ganking and jungling itself. Not all champs are picked up and recognised as broken as fast as it was with Diana for example. I remember time when draven came out. He was rather shitty ad carry with weird mechanism of catching axes while it could push you into wrong place at the wrong time causing you to die like a tiny bitch. Then few weeks ago lots of dravens come up. He didnt get buff or nerf so how's he now kind of FotM if it goes about ADC?

For low elo you have singed :PPP

Haven't jungle him yet but i think its one of these kinds of junglers that wont gank on lvl 2 but will gank after lvl 6 and will do it quite well. Yeah you can say that current meta needs to gank at lvl 2 or 3 but if you will just farm and start ganking after having E evolved you can start making kills + that at about lvl 10 with wriggle etc you can wipe dragon solo faster than most of junglers can do it nowadays.

Other thing is also to have good team comp. Having such a weirdos like you said earlier that for assasin type jungler picks non cc champs sucks. You could always try with exhaust like ppl do with mundo for example. You have that blink and movespeed that should allow you to play smite/exhaust

I'll tell ya my point of view into that. I'm used to play lots of dominions (SR is highly overrated :P i mean im bored to play SR and it tooks too much time which i dont have that much lately), where he is "dat broken monster that wipes most of other assasins beeing popular" like darius, jax, akali and so.

Try Maxing W first and evolving it first. Then throw it on whole creepwave + your oponent with pasive every time it goes off cooldown. You'll see why ppl are delaying or even skipping to evolve on Q. Well i'm used to max Q and evolve it first few matches. But then got it that evolved W does even better (especially when having brutaliser already) - it applies pasive to all targets which can be usefull for counter ganking while on lane (do you dont have to use E to jump out). Then i found some opinions that maxing W first is also a viable option. So i tried it. And it is a good one too. I think that even better than maxing Q. But would be most usefull when solo laning on SR - big farm/push potential and lots of dmg. You'll have to play against very high sustain champ to not force him to drink potions like a Gragas on saturday night. But on dominion it helps controlling points out of the bushes when two or more ppl are trying to capture it (squishy targets are pretty much dead after beeing hit twice by maxed, evolved and empowered by zix's pasive W, or at least will be dead if you jump on them after these).

W deals so much dmg no matter if target is isolated or not + it does AoE dmg which makes way more DPS than using Q. Q even on first level does lots of dmg especially when isolated. So theres no need to rush it as fast as possible to lvl 5. And so to evolving Q. It depends on enemy teamcomp and sittuation. When focusing on tons of dmg and reaching cap on CDR you will deal so much dmg just casting ult then W then again ult and w and one more time W + R. Its funny but im taking evolved Q over R only when fighting about tanky teams while it helps to execute high hp enemies even faster.

And im not scared of elise anymore. Have some spiders? I have W.

Well... after ripping off some champs of dota and dota 2 (i wont post any speccific names since i haven't played dota that much but there are so many champs that are "older" than LoL ones and has lots of simmilarities), then doing so with hud (especially with the way that skills and their ranks are displayed on it) now its time to rip off steam workshop. I like riot but doing stuff and calling it innovative while it is totally ripped off isn't good nor fair. And when someone will tell them about that they are totally copying some stuff seen somewhere else. They will say that it is totally new idea and they didn't know about these.

I remember back when Varus was about to release. There was an AMA with champ designer (Xypherous prolly). Somebody said that his charging arrow mechanism looks totally like some other famous characters (Kai from Vindictus and/or Hunter/sniper from Team Fortress 2 with his bow). Answer for this was - "never heard of them"... yeah... right.

I was playing her alot too. Things that i've noticed are that after 25minutes mark you are nearly useless to team. Two things...

-you suck at farming so you need kills (roam) to catch up with farmers etc.

-you are doing wrong what casters are supposed to do -> AOE DMG so in teamfights you are mostly able to shot down mage or carry but then you have to go back and leave your team 4vs5 (in cases where your target survived somehow [shield heal whatever])

I remember times when i was totally snowballing and buying 3 dorans and then stacking mejai to 20 stacks with ease before 20th minute, but loosing game within next 15 minutes. Thing was that i got stats like 13/0 at 16th minute roaming like a hell getting these 20 stacks on mejai etc but other ppl didnt get kills which they kind of needed. So at the point of teamfights my mates didnt have as much gold (and items) as needed while i was able to take down only one target at a time. So many matches won by surrender at 20... these who knew that lb will eventually suck and didnt surrender most of time won game. So i got an idea. To stop buying mejai (was rushing NLR and rabadon after dorans) and hoping more on kills for my lane while just assists on top/jungle/bot. It helped quite alot. But theres still nothing that will help her farming. Tried even AD Quints, elixir of strength and some other things.
