Lee Sin
- Lee Sin’s E is very strong for trading with Kha’Zix inside of creeps. This slows Kha’Zix’s mobility and longer trades due to low attack speed. It also makes you take little minion damage and gives you vision of him during his ultimate.
- At 6, try to force out an ultimate charge before using your ultimate burst if possible. He takes reduced damage during his ultimate and there is a small period of time after he’s done with 1 charge that he can’t activate it again.
Yorick
Yorick’s ghouls make it hard for Kha’Zix to isolate Yorick, even outside of a minion wave. Use this to your advantage.
Jayce
Put all your extra points into Q and W and just save melee form E for your disengage. Poke Kha’Zix down from range with Q’s and autos. When Kha’Zix tries to jump on you quickly disengage with melee form E and reset the trade.
Rengar
Overall, Rengar has better stats than Kha’Zix. Kha’Zix is a high-damage dealer while you’re an all-around damage dealer and tank. Look to start fights with five ferocity stacks and do not get isolated. Only when you’re isolated does Kha’Zix truly dominate.
