Unseen Threat (P)

Nearby enemies that are Isolated from their allies are marked.

Playing against Khazix

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Stay WITH your team: Kha'Zix can't do anything against non-isolated targets, his damage drops drastically.

2

Wards and vision are crucial: he engages from R invisibility and bushes.

3

If you're the ADC, never separate from your team — you're his priority target as an isolated squishy.

4

His E (jump) has a long cooldown if he doesn't kill — if he jumps and misses the kill, he's trapped.
