Apparently, Kha'zix and Rengar share a hidden passive that could actually have a very large impact on the game.

The passive is called The Hunt is On, and it is present due to the two's intertwined lore.

Basically, at a certain point in the game (Kha'Zix must be at least level 16 and Rengar must have his Bonetooth Neckace in his inventory), they will both recieve a "buff" called The Hunt is On.
At that point whoever kills or insists in killing the other will become the "ultimate hunter", and they will receive a major upgrade for the rest of the game.

Rengar will replace his necklace with an item called The Head of Kha'Zix, which acts like a fully stacked Bonetooth Necklace. In addition, it won't lose stacks when Rengar dies.

Kha'Zix gets a fourth evolution point, allowing to have every single one of his abilities evolved, as opposed to only 3.

This passive competition thing was present when Kha'Zix was in the PBE. It may or may not be present on the released servers, due to the potentially enormous impact it has on the game, but I haven't heard otherwise.

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.

- Unseen Threat (Passive): When Kha'Zix is not visible to the enemy team, he gains Unseen Threat, causing his next basic attack against an enemy champion to deal bonus magic damage and slow.

- Taste Their Fear: Deal physical damage to a single target. Damage against isolated targets is significantly increased. Kha'Zix passively marks enemies that are isolated from nearby allies.
Evolving claws increases damage to isolated targets even further. Kha'Zix also gains increased range on both Taste Their Fear and his basic attack.

- Void Spike: Kha'Zix fires spikes that explode on contact, dealing physical damage to all nearby enemies. Kha'Zix is healed if he is within the explosion radius.
Evolving spike racks causes Void Spike to fire three projectiles in a cone. Spikes will also apply Unseen Threat to all enemies caught within the area of effect.

- Leap: Kha'Zix leaps to an area, dealing physical damage to enemies in the area he lands.
Evolving wings increases Leap's range dramatically and causes a kill or assists to refresh the cooldown of Leap.

- Void Assault (ultimate): Each rank of Void Assault allows Kha'Zix to evolve one of his active abilities, granting it an additional effect. Upon activation, Kha'Zix enters stealth and gains Unseen Threat, increasing Movement Speed. Kha’zix can cast Void Assault again for a short time after activation.
Evolving active camouflage allows Kha’Zix to cast Void Assault three times over the course of its duration and reduces any damage he sustains while in stealth.

The bonus effects that Kha’Zix accrues for ambushing a target make him a natural jungler. His core initiation skill, Leap, allows him to stage ganks from unexpected angles, even over long distances or across terrain. If his quarry happens to be a lone champion, Kha’Zix can utilize the bonus damage from Taste Their Fear combined with the initial magic damage from Unseen Threat to truly devastating effect. Remember that the area of effect damage from Void Spike can help clear away any lingering minions to isolate a foe, making them vulnerable to some additional punishment.

Once he’s initiated, clever repositioning can allow Kha’Zix to break line of sight and refresh Unseen Threat. Juking into the brush, using Leap to withdraw and reinitiate, or entering stealth by casting Void Assault will allow the Voidreaver to continually slow enemies and lay down bonus damage from his passive. Cunning use of Unseen Threat is key to maximizing Kha’Zix’s damage potential.

Later in the match, Void Assault allows Kha’Zix to safely and aggressively navigate team fights. After leaping into combat, Kha’Zix can use his ultimate to evade attacks while he picks apart vulnerable members of the enemy team. Once he’s downed an opponent, activating Void Assault again can allow him to either safely withdraw or reinitiate on another target with Unseen Threat.

Each of Kha’Zix's active abilities can also be evolved to provide greater utility. At Levels 6, 11, and 16, he’ll gain an Evolution Point that can be spent to unlock additional effects on a specific skill. If you’d like greater hit and run potential, for example, choosing to evolve Void Assault and Leap can drastically increase your mobility by offering additional stealth and a second Leap after scoring a kill or assist. If you find yourself falling behind, combining Void Assualt with Void Spike can give you increased durability in team fights and greater farming and poke potential while you catch up on gold. Tailoring your evolutions to address the challenges of a specific match-up can give you that extra edge you need to finish strong in a close matchup.

Spoiler:More information on mechanics

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.

First there was Rengar (predator). Now there's Kha'zix (alien).

Inb4 Phreak plays him as a jungler with tons of damage. Will wait for him to release on PBE and tell you guys about him/it

Was it the Rengar nerfs that made Kha'Zix more viable, or did he always have high potential and was just outclassed by Rengar at the time?

Penetration changes, too, along with rise of Black Cleaver. Made all AD assassins more viable.

Kha'Zix was always incredibly strong but the majority of players overlooked him because Rengar was around then Rengar was nerfed into the ground and people didn't want to play Kha'Zix then because they feared the same result. Eventually bruiser mid brought Kha'Zix onto the scene and people saw him as a really strong champion despite no patches so he's been played in more roles.

Nice idea on bumping a half-year old thread

Rengar got nerfed pretty damn hard. Idk who's better cuz I never played Rengar before he was nerfed.

But Kha has a nice burst, so Ill go with Kha.

I so much regret buying Rengar T^T I didnt know that he was nerfed that hard... ._.

Kha'zix is a boatload of fun top lane. What's interesting is that I've done a whole lot better taking spike racks as the first evolution. I haven't lost a lane yet except for against Jayce and Jax, but I mean, that seemed likely from the onset.

Wow, if I had known Kha'Zix was such a faceroll champ I would have been using him all week. Instead I feared how complicated he seemed, but I guess I shouldn't judge before I try, he was pretty simple to play.

Why do I get the feeling that this new champion will make me fear for my life in mid lane?

Because Scyther here could end up being a scary jungle?

He's pretty fun, but his jungle is questionable, or maybe I'm just doing it wrong?????????

Regardless, I won't be buying him. ._.'
