My Day in the League 9/27

Was surprised today when loading up League of Legends to find that the new champion, Kha'Zix had been released. He is too cool to pass up on so I bought him. The first game I play with a champ is always a custom game with all bots just to get an idea of the basic mechanics. Kha'Zix is super fun I went 38/2 against the bots which isn't all that special. I tried to jump into blind pick to play him against some humans but was too slow the first game.
Game One I played a rough game as Jayce with a Soraka against a Teemo Rengar kill lane, went 1/2/2 before my team surrendered.
Game Two Then the next game I got Kha'zix someone went top though so I was supporting Ezreal against Vayne and Xin Zhao (I only cs'd while he was out of lane, at the end of the game he had 257 cs and I had 188 the two highest in the game), we got a quick 2-0 lead on them but the game drug on with both teams throwing it back and forth, we won in straight up 5v5s (even once when the other team had baron) but lacked the coordination to group we won in the end I finished 11/12/17 and Ezreal was 18/9/21.
Game Three The next game I was also a duo bot Kha'Zix this time though I was the carry because the last guy to pick went Shen at the last second and went top. We were against a Nidalee Draven, Nid thought she was some kind of poke master but my W actually traded with her very well and is harder to dodge than a spear in my opinion, we had two early ganks from our jungle Xin and took bot tower by like 7 minutes. I started roaming and they forfeited at 23 minutes finished that game 4/3/10.
Game Four My last game as Kha'Zix I finally got to solo top 1v1 against Jarvan IV, I'm not sure how strong of a match up Kha'Zix is gonna be against a tank because it negates a lot of his burst, I let him push and managed to stay even and eventually ahead of him in farm. My jungle was busy elsewhere and his couldn't gank me because he was always pushed. So laning phase ended us both 0/0 but our bot lane Fiora/Hecarim was stomping. I think in the end I was much more useful than Jarvan I went 7/3/7 our Hecarim went 16/0/7 and we won hard.
Overall my thoughts on Kha'Zix are that his Q is super bursty from an AD melee champ his W once evolved actually clears waves really fast if you hit it right, and his R is pretty good to close gaps especially with the CD refresh on kills and assists. I'm still not sure about his ult the invisibility is short so its not really a good way to sneak in on a carry like Rengars ult, the one this it is good at is refreshing his passive during a big fight.
Game Five I decided to get serious for a game so I played ranked, I was 4th pick mid and made the horrible mistake of picking Vlad into a Fiddle. That went terribly I went 0-4 in lane without their jungle ever having a successful gank. Our other lanes also had some difficulties of their own. Fiddle finished 13/2/9, I was 3/8/9 and dropped to a meager 1126 ELO. Atleast from now on I know to pick Fiddle against Vlad.
Game Six I decided for my last game of the night to play an ARAM. Definitely ended the night on a good note got Dunkmaster Jarvan the Fourth went 4/8/32 (I was involved in like the first 20 kills for my team) and we won without losing a tower despite playing most of the game 4v5 because Corki spilled water on his router before he could load into the game.
