Viktor Trinket, Thrill of the Hunt

Now, as much as this is beating a dead horse, Viktor's Hex Core somewhat limits him in game. But, I also see how giving the Hex Core the trinket slot could cause imbalance, what with 100 (I think it's 100) free AP (1,000 gold, really, but you get the point). So what do you think could be done? Giving the Hex Core the trinket slot but giving it stacks (like Bonetooth)? It would make him more snowball reliant, and would undoubtedly bring his popularity back. I love Viktor, but I can see why others abandoned him. Also, and this is only in here because I haven't been able to find it, but has Thrill of the Hunt been neutered after the Rengar rework? A good Rengar can get 20 stacks before 16, and since they don't go away, that means that Thrill of the Hunt gives Kha'Zix a 4th evolution point, and Rengar gets a different trinket.
