And yet, despite those nerfs, Kha still remained extremely strong, highly banned, and notoriously deadly in the early game as a jungler. It's only with Preseason 5's jungle changes, and fall of early game gank junglers, that he became less popular. I'd rather have an adaptable assassin with interesting gameplay choices and versatile utility than just another burst bot. No, he's not as bursty as Talon, the burstiest assassin in the game, and his unempowered Q, which can inflict over double its damage on every hit, deals less damage than Rengar's empowered Q, which takes five spellcasts and/or an ultimate to activate, nor can he poke as effectively as Pantheon, who scales with only two spells, but that's fine. He's not meant to be Talon, or Rengar, or Pantheon. It makes no sense to compare champions solely on the damage of one ability, particularly when you're manipulating cases to portray Kha in a negative light, because these champions aren't just about damage. If that were the case, there would be only one viable assassin around, and that would be the assassin with the highest damage output.
