League of Legends<\/em>\u2019 jungle meta is constantly changing to reflect both adjustments to gameplay and overall game tempo, continuing to reward a pesky bug that has no problem jumping in and out of combat with ease.<\/p>
Kha\u2019Zix has been the recipient of an ample amount of changes within the last few patches, many of which have been buffs due to outcry from the fan base regarding Riot\u2019s treatment of the Voidreaver. Now, only a week into Patch 13.9<\/a>, Kha\u2019Zix sits atop the jungle meta in nearly every skill division of solo queue, sporting a 27.92 percent ban rate, 15.55 percent pick rate, and 51.53 percent win rate\u2014with all of these stats being the highest they\u2019ve been in nearly a year, according to OP.GG<\/a>.<\/p>

The newfound attention from the League<\/em> community toward Kha\u2019Zix began when Riot released the patch preview for Patch 13.7<\/a> at the end of March, where Kha\u2019Zix was listed as receiving \u201cadjustments\u201d that appeared to hinder a handful of his tools. Though these changes did little to impact Kha\u2019Zix\u2019s spot in the meta, they were followed up with a buff to his Q\u2014his primary damage source\u2014in Patch 13.8<\/a>, where players began to see the benefits of all of these changes combined.<\/p>
Kha\u2019Zix even made an appearance in the first week of this year\u2019s MSI<\/a>, proving vital for G2 Esports in the hands of their jungler Yike, affording them a major victory against PSG Talon that allowed them to advance to the last-chance qualifier.<\/p>
