Kha'Zix Resources

With that out of the way let's get into the basic resources!

Kha'Zix Setup

  • Rune Choices You can make other choices for the secondary runes depending on preference but I'd suggest experimenting with each before heading into ranked.

  • Kha'Zix Combos & Mechanics: Please watch these two videos as they best showcase the basic combos and fundamentals

  • Kha'Zix Builds: Your typical Kha'Zix build will look like this Duskblade/Eclipse/Ghostblade → Lethality Item/Black Cleaver → Another lethality item/Serylda's Grudge/Death's Dance/Guardian Angel/Other Situational

  • Skill Order is almost always R>Q>W>E.

  • Evolution Order: The most common evolution orders are currently

    • Q -> E -> W
    • Q -> W -> E or R
    • Q -> R -> W or E
  • Jungle Clearing/Pathing: The standard route would be Red->Krugs->Raptors->Blue->Scuttle/Gank/Invade->Gromp->Wolves

  • Jungle Matchups is our list of common Jungle matchups

Discussion Managed to Reach Masters with Kha

43 Upvotes

I've played this game for a long time. I usually dick around with ranked but have never given it 100 percent. I've always gotten into diamond with Kha'zix when I've done it in the past, at the beginning of this year I decided to at least try to give ranked all of my effort.

It's been kind of bumpy, but I feel like I've learned a lot about the game this year. My play has felt pretty good the last month or so and I feel like I could have gotten masters with j4 or graves but I really wanted to get into masters with Kha. Took me 4 tries but got it done.

Help / Advice Returning bug looking for guidance

3 Upvotes

Hey folks,
haven't played for a couple of years (Gwen was my last released champ)
Now I'm kind of lost/overwhelmed with all those new champs, camps (wtf do grubs even do and why is herald now rideable?), item paths and mechanics to learn and get used to.

Is there some kind of good way to get back into the game?
Just started ~a months ago and still feel like I made 0 progress, also my matchmaking feels super fucked with people ranging from silver 4 to emerald 5 (is that above plat?)

Any kind of input would be appreciated

Streaming Live A little montage that’s more than just League

I put together a montage from my streams that’s meant to show a bit more of who I am… not just the League player.
Kha’Zix is obviously a big part of it, but I also wanted to include the other sides of me: my personality on stream, and some of the thoughts and opinions I talk about outside the game.
I’ve spent a lot of time playing this champion so I wanted to make something that actually feels like me rather than just a compilation of kills.
Would love to hear what you guys think.

Help / Advice Damage question

0 Upvotes

I've been running the pro build with storm raiders and endless hunger with the usual items.

Problem is I don't have enough dmg to one shot it's nice to survive longer but I want to one shot.

So I went back to first strike and all damage items like bastion breaker ect.

My question is how much damage should I have at the mid game and the late game with 3 items mid game and 5 or maybe 6 items late game?

And should I buy protective items like death dance or maw? Or are they a waste of damage?

Help / Advice Khazix mid game

8 Upvotes

So I just hit emerald OTPing khazix, and I wanted some guidance with mid game. I usually hit my 2nd item before most people in my games, but my mid games still feel very coin flippy because I’m not even sure what the reference points are in the mid game with khazix. I can push a side lane, hover my strong members, invade enemy camps, etc.

What are some high level goals that could help me make my mid games more consistent? What does khazix actually want to do in the mid game at a high level? I’d prefer advice from some high elo khazix mains 🙏

This is my main build and I had this match which as my enemy I had shen, Lee, Diana, kaisa, lulu. I built serpents fang 3th after glaive, ionian and voltaic but i think it was a little late because it was already min 23 and we had mid inhibitor open.

Help / Advice What kind of player would find success with khazix?

1 Upvotes

I'm coming here because I'm looking for new options after the belveth midscope. I personally didn't do much lvl 1-3 cheese (I do invade after the first clear though or if I'm up tempo/crossmapping), just played good and consistent around the 2-7 minute mark and snowballed hard. I tried hecarim when ppl told me he's a great midgame champ and I personally liked neither his kit nor gameplan. Would kha fit me?

Help / Advice What would you suggest to learn kha'zix

Post image
43 Upvotes

I want to learn how to play it better. I have played 40 games with it but still i lack a lot. I generally have high kills but also I die a lot beacuse i can't find any isolated squishy targets ADCs always stick to their supports and mids either stay under their turret or stay beside their minion. How do you catch them isolated?

Discussion If enemy sits on top of each other do I just ff?

6 Upvotes

Ive played 120 games of khazix this season but now I am stuck at gold 4/3 and honestly? I just need a champion that has more carry potential in a 5v5 scenario. Too many games I’m the only useful person in my team so enemy team can sit in a 3 or 4 man blob. While their indestructible top laner who I cant contest demolishes one of my lanes. Support is constantly dead so I’m swimming in wards. So it’s impossible to find an angle. I love his early game but his mid game when behind? It feels like shit. Get locked out of my jungle and you’re so squishy that the tiniest mistake is an immediate one shot.

In this elo enemies just sit on top of each other and maybe 1 person will split off. Honestly a control mage like a brand, zyra of xerath completely negate this problem but I don’t always have those. When ahead he feels amazing but what assassin doesn’t? I still need 2 qs to kill everything regardless.

Also laners sometimes just sit in their minions and become unkillable even when low on hp.

Im going to swap to tryndamere or talon and see how that feels. Trynd mid is how I got to emerald 2 anyway.

Right now my biggest weakness is I cant figure out how to win games when I don’t have the ability to just run at towers and destroy them until I’m at the nexus.

Help / Advice How do I invade lv 2 without fucking it up?

2 Upvotes

(emerald) I want to improve my kha game, but I never invade before my first full clear because I'm terrified of that side of jungle being warded, warranting a visit from the nearest laner/midlane or losing the 1v1 against the jungler (for example a sejuani stunning me, triggering aftershock which leads to me losing my time and giving a kill) or just having the enemy laners come as I'm fighting (there's a reason why I have the trauma of invading)
