Why would an assassin need one?

LOL. So true. Needs to go in and out in a second. I think this makes you do it. (faster)

 

I can stomach most of the Kha changes other than the change where he doesn't get any damage reduction at all from evolving his ultimate.  It's like they didn't even want to try balancing it, especially since there's no slight buff to evolving the ultimate that might compensate for such a large nerf to that skill (perhaps shorten or get rid of the time gap between being able to cast the charges of your ult?). They didn't try tinkering with the values or anything.  It's just gone. I know PBE is designed to allow Riot to test some of their more extreme ideas, but it might be helpful for them to try tinkering with some numbers first.

LeBlanc buff :/  Wasn't she op enough already

"[Back to Live values]"

Can you not read?

She wasn't buffed though. Her values were reset to live ones

Guys, regarding Kha

Pls, learn to read and think before talking nonsense about Kha's changes. 

It Kha is champ very special to me. I started playing league some time after last China's allstars introduced by brother. Kha was among the champs he recommended me. Since then I've watched hundreds of pro-games (AlexIch's and Ambition's Kha were my favourites to emulate), played about 250 ranked and twice as much normal games with him, all in oreder to master him. I played him mainly in solo lanes ( never forget: tear, evolve W ;( ) and jungle if I had to. I would liek to share some thoughts on recent PBE changes.

Abovementioned are actually buffs to lane Kha and nerfs to jungle Kha. Riot delievered as promised by increasing the scaling dmg from evolved Q at the cost of base dmg, making mid or top Kha a thing again. Q will nuke even harder than pre-nerf-8%losthp one, as long as PBE Kha will choose right targets ( squishy targets: ADCs, mids, supports). W will have increased utility, compensating for decreased base dmg of Q - jungle Kha will have to rely more on his teammates instead of outduelling everyone with merely 1 or 2 ad items. Kha is definiutely getting back from problematic bruiser to assasin. In my opinion he is even more balanced because of his reliance on AD items instead of levels, so enemy team has tools to play around him.

I strongly encourage Riot not to withdraw those changes as - on paper- they made him healthier than he has ever been.

 

I agree with your points, but I wasn't really concerned about any of the Kha changes except to his ultimate.  Removing a major component of the evolved ultimate (the damage reduction) without any compensating factors (decreased gap between using ult charges or some new mechanic) seems like a very iffy decision, especially since (this being PBE) they could first tinker with the numbers by lowering the amount of damage reduction (maybe something like 20%-25%) and see how it works out before making such a drastic decision.

I'm fine with it. It's mainly get in or get out, not survive an attack.

I agree with this. I played him when he was released, and went jungle first. It was an enjoyable experience.

These changes let me cling to his old ways, instead of going tank'zix.

Destroy kha'zix, dont nerf leblanc. thanks riot.

That being said, just removing that 50% damage reduction mechanic entirely is a little ungraceful, especially since (this being PBE) they could have started by doing something like nerfing the numbers (maybe 20%-25% reduction?) to see if the numbers are the problem or just the mechanic in general before taking a drastic course of action like this.

exactly. yeah he was a bit overtuned but it doesnt mean they had to dumpster him without a second thought. it annoys me more when they revert leblanc nerfs with it too.

RIP Lb and Kha.. May as well make every mid as bad as mid morg
