An Idea for Kha'Zix in the upcoming Assassin Update

So since I saw Kha'Zix on the list of possible candidates for the Assassin Update, I am super hyped for this upcoming update to see what Riot's got in store this time. I personally love Kha'Zix, playstyle-wise and thematically. The idea of this Void pray-mantis creature with an obscession with consuming and evolving, as well as the fact that his abilities begin to change visually for him as the game progresses. Now I do love Kha'Zix, I haven't really played him enough to make a super in-depth and honest opinion about his state, but I have always felt that Kha'Zix plays pretty well. An issue I have with him however is how his kit fits into his theme, a creature that seeks to devour creatures in order to evolve and become stronger.

In game, Kha'Zix doesn't do much devouring and more evolving, but I had an idea for an additional passive, possibly for his Q, that revolves more around that idea of 'consume and evolve' on jungle monsters. I can't really make a super deep description of it, but what if his Q gets a passive where, if he kills a jungle monster with it, he gets a buff resembling the creature, like a Pseudo-smite-buff. For instance, if he kills Kruggs with his Q, he gains a shield, or additional armor/tenacity. Or if he gets birds, he gets more movement speed or a larger distance for his E, you can get the idea. This should obviously only affect the normal jungle monsters, and not the Drakes, Rift Herald or Baron (or possibly a powerful buff when killing Baron).

Hope you guys like the idea, and feel free to point out any other issues you feel about Kha'Zix or other ideas for his rework.

I wouldn't mind a nunu like addition to his kit (I'd rather that be his regular passive and his ulti give bonus damage like shaco's Q after casting since that basically is how his passive works in practice) but I'd prefer he didn't get the mechanic as it's hard to "add" to him without taking away and right now his kit synergizes very well with the rest of his abilities besides maybe W.
