CLG Klavier Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Can someone give me any, like, ANY reason why Kha'Zix isn't nerfed to the ground yet? I have a huge feeling he's the new Kassadin - you either pick/ban it, or lose. His Q does ridiculous amounts of damage even if unevolved, E and R give him gigantic amounts of mobility AND invicibility. You can literally go invisible, jump ABOVE THE ENTIRE TEAM to the backline and kill the ADC in 1-2 shots. Early game evolved R makes you impossible to catch or outrun, combined with red buff, passive and W...like, seriously. This is stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Because he usually has to be built as a glass cannon of sorts. If he does get fed enough to do "Tons of Damage!"™, yeah, he's a monster to have to deal with. But, with proper warding and good play, he can very easily fall behind and just not have enough damage to do anything more than tickle. He also has a very predictable set of abilities, meaning you can simply outplay him if you know what you're doing. I sort of imagine that he's kind of like an AD Evelynn at the moment. Just gotta know how to deal with it. Also, if he's even a little bit fed, try to avoid 1v1ing him all by your lonesome. He was designed to thrive in that sort of situation, meaning to have to play more as a team. After all, in the long run, he actually brings very little to a teamfight, ESPECIALLY if he's unable to instantly burst someone down by the time the teamfight breaks out.

CLG Klavier Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I wouldn't say a champ whose equipment contains Mercury's Threads, Randuin's Omen, Hexdrinker and Banshee's Veil is "glass cannon". Long gone are the days of Triforce/Manamune Kha, now you either build tanky or go home. That, combined with 50% damage reduction on his ultimate, his invisibility and jumps makes him REALLY slippery, and even if you catch him, he'll be tanky enough to survive. He does increased damage to solo targets, has mixed damage in his kit and hits for missing health on evolved Q. Even if he is REALLY behind, he'll hit for quite a bit. If he's doing ok, he will hurt, and if he snowballed, mother of god he's unstoppable. And proper warding helps, but you know, he can gank like Evelynn, from the shadows.

Makο Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 As I'm saying, though, complaining about how "op" a champion is won't solve anything, whether he actually is or not. You just have to learn to adjust to the current situation and find a way to thrive. Even a snowballing Kha'Zix can make mistakes, and that one mistake might be enough to kick your team into the lead, letting your team snowball from there.

Goose Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 LMQ v XDG tomorrow. Predictions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Haven't seen much of XDG in S4 and what I've seen of LMQ looked promising. I'll put my money on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brinolovania Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Honestly, I put it at about 50-50 chance LMQ wins. People are saying they're amazing and XDG sucks, but I feel like they still have a chance. At least more of one than people seem to think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brinolovania Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 I sorta want LMG or C9T to win, just to have someone different in LCS. But IDK if it'll happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro Dude Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 I wonder if Jinx can benefit from Caitlin's Runaan's Hurricane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 In general right now, Runaan's is just not a good item. Even with the extra bolts, it just doesn't give enough benefits to be worth buying over something like Phantom Dancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makο Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 GG LMQ defeats XDG 3-0. It was all over when XDG got caught by a 3-man Orianna ult while going into a bush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with the extra bolts, it just doesn't give enough benefits to be worth buying over something like Phantom Dancer. True, but the key for me is not how much damage you can deal, but how fast you can deal it. In fact, I'll give it a shot in a game and let you know how it goes. After all, Jinx is a ranged attacker too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brinolovania Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Well, I was a wee bit off on my "50-50" thing. XDG deserved to lose though, after how badly they've been playing. Now we've just gotta hope LMQ doesn't roflstomp the entire LCS like some people are saying. Not that it seems likely, stomping XDG =/= stomping C9 or TSM. True, but the key for me is not how much damage you can deal, but how fast you can deal it. In fact, I'll give it a shot in a game and let you know how it goes. After all, Jinx is a ranged attacker too. Phantom Dancer makes you do damage really fast too, though. And it does more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are important but Raw Damage is more helpul as it GREATLY boost what Life Steal can do. For example: Say you got 20% of Life Steal what would you prefer? hitting fast for 110-130 Damage regaining 22-26 HP back per hit or Hitting 250-270 critical hits that will regain you between 50-60 HP per hit?

Seems like it could be a good idea, given the trouble DIG's been having finding a good mid. Especially if he starts playing like he apparently did last season.

Makο Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Actually never heard of that. Interesting. Who's the current mid for dig? I forget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brinolovania Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Scarra, with goldenglue as backup. Thing is, Scarra's been playing terribly this year, and goldenglue didn't do that well when they tried him as starting mid laner. Their bot lane's been doing awesome, but not so much the solo laners.

Makο Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Poor Scarra. Only time will tell I guess. For now, I'm keeping a close eye on LMQ. Showing extreme promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makο Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 I've actually never heard of Team 8. (though having to look them up, they seem competent so I guess yeah?) Also, what's the promo tourney? ...I may SEEM like I know a lot about the pro scene, but I had to drop it all for like 2 months and I've lost track of EVERYTHING. Someone should make a chart of everything Pro League Tourney related. ._. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
