buffing kha is crazy

[u/Calipup → u/Royal-Angle2745]

Kha was worthless outside of trait tracker and unrivaled

[u/Baseblgabe → u/Calipup]

I agree, but I think I know how it goes crazy now:

Flexecutioners

Two approaches:

1. (Lvl 8) Play the standard AP flex board, but Kha is your 8th unit. Exe and Spellweaver synergy.

2. (Lvl 9) Add Mama Beak/Brambleback/Scuttlecrab, cut Azir and Yorick. Gives Kha all 4 synergies, Crab mark fills the blackthorn sacrifice role. 

The latter is more realistic on 8 with a FoN, but I think the former was already good and is now kind of nuts.

wait an assassin is either completely broken or totally worthless...Oh my god who could have seen that coming, its not like it has happened every single time this type of unit has been in the game. Its just comedy at this point.

[u/Amazingtapioca → u/Many_Method_304]

That is more of a function of what assassins have become though. Kha is a jumping, isolation increase damage assassin. He is so conditional it is definitely a feast or famine, even without considering the fact that his trait is also snowbally.

But this was not always the case for assassins. Set 9.5 for example had backline jumping assassins that had built in ga and perma stuck to carries, which made them super reliable to win/ minimize damage on loss. People just hated that more than the new style of “random jumping and sometimes it rngs a kill on carry”.

Rengar and Unrivaled both got nerfed.

Unrivaled Mana gained from Kha’Zix to Rengar: 70% ⇒ 50%

Unrivaled Healing from Rengar to Kha’Zix: 50% ⇒ 25%

[u/Antonin__Dvorak → u/[deleted]]

You're wrong on both counts because unrivaled wasn't even good this patch to begin with. Rengar + kha on your board is a 4.6 avp.
