Champion Sneak Peek – Kha'Zix, the Voidreaver

Posted on at 6:27 PM by Moobeat
Are you ready to meet our next champion, Kha'Zix, the Voidreaver?
Continue reading for the full teaser image and text, as well as some relevant red posts.

Void Assassin? Don't mind if I do!

"If you take the time to examine the many wonders of nature, you’ll find a fair number of animals that are remarkably well-adapted to their environment. It isn’t every day, however, that you run across a creature that can adapt to every environment.

Feast your eyes on this fine specimen here. Meet Kha’Zix, the Voidreaver – the most highly-evolved champion yet to grace the Fields of Justice. Maybe you’re marveling at the iridescent wings or the intimidating spike racks? Well, you’ll find that’s just one of many possible evolutionary paths your Voidreaver can take. Perhaps some adaptive camouflage and wicked, scythe-like claws might be more appropriate to your particular hunting ground. Whichever evolutions you choose to manifest, you’ll find Kha’Zix has just the tools you need to viciously slaughter unsuspecting prey.

If you’re the kind of assassin that’s always ready to adapt, evolve, and overcome, you’ll want to keep an eye on the latest addition to the Void lineup."


On to the handful of red posts about Kha'Zix.

Morello shot down the idea that this is an update of the long cancelled champion Omen by saying:
"Nothing to do with Omen at all, though this is way cooler"
Phreak mentioned that "Teek was the placeholder name for Kha'Zix.".... and our list of 6-8 PBE leaked champions is reduced to one.

    1. Ye gj now a better suited for first place comment,
      "That scratches our last 6-8 PBE leaked champion off the list!"

    3. If this is true then niceee. His ultimate sounds like lifestealer ulti from DotA and also that passive is siiiick!

      Delete
    4. Sweet mother of a holy jesus.

      That passive sounds bloody awesome.
      This is a long awaited insect-type and void assassin in one.
      The ultimate is very similar to what I wanted to see in the League some day.

      can't wait :O

    1. Alien Vs Predator?

    2. Hell yea. Those would be amazing skins.

    3. yea it is...rengar hes predator skin..and this thing will have alien skin

    4. Dude... The "alien" from Rengar's lore is CHO'GATH.

      Delete
    5. Dude... Cho doesn't have scythe-like claws, but this guy does, this IS the one in Rengar's lore

      Delete
    6. While it's quite likely that this is the creature from Rengar's lore, Cho does have scythe-like claws Jed

      Delete
    7. It's this guy, Cho didn't have a hidden passive with Rengar. More then likely this guy will

      Delete
    8. Not necessary. Graves and TF had no special interaction with each other, nor had Diana and Leona.

      Delete
    9. Not 100% sure but isn't cho "only" allowed on the Fields of Justice not out and about? From what I recall the lore wouldn't go back before cho was found
      ? Kha'Zix is likely Rengar's enemy. Be cool if they had an interaction. Funny how Graves and Noc do.

      Delete
    10. morello confirmed that khazix is the one in rengar's lore

    11. I don't see him confirming that...
      Anywhere...

    12. I played Rengar VS Cho gath top and there WAS a secret passive the first time he came into my vision range Cho said : We meet again .

      Delete
  5. finally a champ that makes me go "oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit"
    looks like he has some fun mechanics centered around choosing different skill paths... maybe its like... "level up q and your next level of w is different, or level up w first and your next of q is different
    -eriq

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I am almost certain that you are wrong, probably the only choosable spell would be his R

      My guess is that the mechanic will be item dependant, i.e. you stack hp, he gets better skin, you stack ad he gets claws, you stack ms he gets wings & so on

      Delete
    2. "Stack MS"

      ......

      Delete
    3. What? :p Hecarim has a ms scaling ability already (and that's how i tested him in the first game xD)

      Delete
    4. ^ probably failed miserably

      Delete
    5. No, it was fun :p You can rush in use Q to dish out damage and rush out before the enemy can really react. Plus you have one of the greatest initiates with his R. Alo note that stacking MS doesn't mean 5x boots and PD but a solid build with Trinity and other goodies.

      Ofc... tossing an alternate build as fail before even testing it is a valid performance today :p As people did with ap Heca.

      You may go and troll somewhere else now anon dude (And I won't go further into the discussion if you don't even show your name btw).

    1. I think Lolwhut was referring to the fact that according to Cho's lore, the summoners have him confined to the institute, and as such could not have been the one in Rengar's lore

      Delete
    2. ^ exactly. I always lol when people ignore facts to believe whatever dream they first come up with.
      There is literally no possibility of Cho being Rengar's enemy because Cho has never ever ever walked Valoran. The first time he saw it he was summoned directly into the Institute.

    4. Why skip any champs... just buy them all! more choice

      Delete
    5. DON'T BUFF SYNDRA!!! She is so op! I can own anyone with her I mean anyone. She's just harder to play... Though there are harder more complicated champs that people dont seem to want buffed

    1. His little description shows that he evolves over time.

  9. I never say this but... INSTABUY! Holy freaking balls, PURE BADASS!

  10. Just when things seemed their bleakest, he encountered the monster. It was a disturbing, alien thing, distinctly out of place in his world. It bore huge scything claws and devoured any animal that strayed across its path

    Rengars Lore...Riot OP

    ReplyDelete
  11. I don't think that THIS is the champion in Rengar's lore .
    Because Cho'gath fits the description just as much, if not more than this new champ .
    But it is still a possibility !
    Glad to see Riot making all these champions with different abilities instead of basic QWER kits .

    1. "bore huge scything claws"

      " Perhaps some adaptive camouflage and wicked, scythe-like claws might be more appropriate to your particular hunting ground. Whichever evolutions you choose to manifest, you’ll find Kha’Zix has just the tools you need to viciously slaughter unsuspecting prey"

      The fight that Rengars lore mentioned was vicious and savage,it fits more with Khazix than with Cho

      Delete
    2. The only flaw in your argument is that the lore states cho'gath is kept imprisoned at all times at the institute of war.

      Also cho'gath has never explicitly been stated to have scythe claws.

      Delete
    3. "and devoured any animal that strayed across its path".

      It's just a matter of perspective. try to see others beforing insta-locking yours.

      Delete
    4. But Cho is known for "feasting" . For all we know, this champ doesn't even lick anyone, not until we see a skill kit .
      And in Rengars Champion Spotlight, Cho is used as the combat puppet to display Rengars abilities .

      Delete
    5. What is he doing in his picture other than devouring something

      Delete
    6. Am I the only one who thought the alien in Rengar's lore was Kog'Maw? I mean seriously... Kog'Maw's lore even mentioned "he explored the fruits of the strange world the only way he knew how: by devouring them."... Followed by "he came upon a tribe of nomads." ... Rengar's lore specifically mentions that. I'm honestly shocked no one has mentioned Kog'Maw in this entire comment thread

      Delete
    7. Seems as though all void beasts eat stuff -.-

      Delete
    8. But Rengar lost the fight, the beast got away. Rengar has Kog's skull.

      Delete
    9. this champ is obviously the champ that was listed in rengars lore.
      1. this is all a play on alien vs predator (rengar being the pred and this one being the alien).
      2. there is proof that this thing is devouring creatures (the photo shows it doing such).
      3. they wouldn't put so much emphasis on the scythe-like claws if it weren't.

      and also, the aliens from all the movies were constantly evolving and adapting (which is what this champ is focusing around).

      Delete
    10. i'd be more likely to believe that graves is the one from rengars lore than i would cho. graves doesnt fit in rengars beast world because he is human. that and when graves were to have "beaten" rengar, he could have taken his necklace and thats why graves has it on in his splash art. now true, graves wouldnt be an alien creature to him because he was raised by human beings, but cho doesnt have emphasis on the claws and is at all times locked away. before he was locked away, he was in the void. i doubt that he would have left, kicked the crap out of rengar and then returned. seems a lil pointless to me....

      Delete
    11. "Rengar has Kog's skull." No... That's Baron's skull, next to Dragon's skull

      Delete
  12. This champions looks really cool. I guess his ingame model evolves everytime you level an ability, or when he uses them. Gotta know him better; last time I got this excited seeing a Champion Sneak Peek was Darius'.

    1. They maybe took some features of Omen or some knowlege by him. But he doesn't look like Omen and neither has a "long toungue". And I know Omen pretty good my Sir.

    2. "Nothing to do with Omen at all, though this is way cooler"

      Delete
    3. I started this post what I meant is they reworked omen Into kha zix

      Delete
    4. Champs aren't developed in 2 weeks. The leak of Teek should be around the same time Omen was cancelled as far as I can remember btw (Too lazy to check exact dates atm). That suggests those are indeed 2 different champions. And that aside, what that anon said, Morello said they had no connection, you can check that in the sneak back announcement thread.

      Delete
  15. Appearances aside, have you all forgot how Riot dropped the ball with Viktor? Please try not to get carried away with the hype of a new (and fucking awesome) looking champion.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Told my friends 2 months ago this would happen.... They said it won't, who's laughing now.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I just want to point out that in the thread about archetypes, Morello responded and pointed out that a shape-shifter is coming out relatively soon (this was a few months back). So this champion probably is the shape-shifter, whatever that may mean in Riot Terms.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Wow. For once a champ who wasn't leaked 2 weeks in advance.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I thought.. Cho'gath was the one in the lore. WELL, i'll be honest. I thought it was Venom from Spiderman. And then I saw more things protruding from it and then the antennae and..

    Holy crap this thing is scary looking.

    3. "I think it's the "daddy" that Kog' Maw mentions in his "Terror coming, daddy coming" " i saw many casseroles smarter than you, Kog say daddy coming like ppl say "whose your daddy ?" (no they don't want to meet your dad). it's like saying Annie "have you seen my bear tibbers ?" say this because she cannot find him... she say it like kids want to show her favourite toy to the elders, (yes annie it's really nice bear)

      Delete
    4. The thing is, then she show you her bear (it whacks you in the face), so why can't kong maw show you his daddy, anyway, in the past, riot has said that they were working on this "daddy" of kog'maw, I dont know if this is it yet, but it is a possibility

    ReplyDelete
  47. This may have been said already. But from the comments i read everyone is saying that maybe his skills have to do with items or lalala. Am I the only one that thinks he could be like Jayce o.o? Where as his R maybe changes his shape and form and he gets different skills along with it. I dunno just a guess. Regardless what hes actually like, just from the description of him hes already my most anticipated champion in a long time lol.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Kha'zix starts as a melee.

    Passive - Hyperevolving Carapace: Every time you level up Kha'zix's ultimate, his next ability use will enhance him in a certain way for the rest of the game. He can enhance one ability twice and another once, or he can enhance each ability once. (He can't enhance one ability 3 times). Each enhancement visibly changes him.

    Q - Vicious Slivers: Kha'zix fires spikes in a line, dealing damage and shredding armor of hit enemies. (medium cooldown)
    ENHANCED 1: His attacks are now ranged.
    ENHANCED 2: His spikes become stronger, increasing his range and causing his autoattacks to now deal 1.2x damage

    W - Exoskull Burst:
    Passive - His armor plates respond to oppression, becoming more powerful as he is attacked. Kha'zix temporarily gains armor for each autoattack he takes, stacking up to 5 times.
    Active - Kha'zix violently sheds his exoskeleton, refreshing his stacks and dealing damage per stack in an AoE.

    ENHANCED 1: Kha'zix permanently makes his exoskeleton stronger, passively increasing armor/MR and allowing his W passive to stack up to 10 times. Exoskull Burst now applies Grievous Wounds upon use.
    ENHANCED 2: Kha'zix now retains his armor stacks upon cast.

    E - Void Passing: Kha'zix leaps to a targetted nearby location.

    ENHANCED 1: Kha'zix grows wings, permanently increasing his speed and increasing the range and travel speed of his E.
    ENHANCED 2: Kha'zixs' wings become extremely powerful through evolution, further increasing his speed and E range causing his E to stun nearby enemies for a short duration on cast

    R - Burrowing Terror: Kha'zix burrows into the ground, becoming untargetable for a short duration and slowing enemies above him as he moves. Upon expiry or recast, he bursts forth from the crust of the earth, dealing damage to enemies in the area affected.

    2. Close. I expect sth better but style is correct.

    3. HMM... i suspect something. maybe his theme is sort of a dna hunter. i mean look, he is eating a bug and now has wings and antenae. Maybe his mission in the league in the long run is to absorb the powers from the champions. A sort of void kroot

      Delete
    3. Making assumptions after that timeframe. Genius ;D You can do so many cool things with Syndra. She's not a burstmage or a classical ap carry. She's different and needs to be played different to be effective.

      That aside she has incredible synergy with some champs ;) Go try to find them and you might come to the conclusion that Syndra is more than okay compared to the 3 plays with standardbuild.

      Delete
    4. People still playing Syndra should get reported for trolling. You are effectively handing mid lane to the enemy team for free and are completely useless in lategame.
