Regarding Plans for Kha'Zix, From a Kha'Zix Main

I'm a plat Kha'Zix main, but my normal mmr as of this post is in the top 2.3% (I am usually matched with Diamond to Challenger). I'll try to dissect this post and my opinions for the time being.
"Evolution is a cool concept, but it seems like there are just optimal choices. We want each of Kha’Zix’s evolutions to feel unique and worthy, so that Kha’Zix players feel empowered to adapt their character to the current game state and their own play style."
In a sense of game play, this is mostly unavoidable. There are definitely ways to promote decision, but with any competitive environment the best options will always emerge. That being said, people can agree that there currently is a wrong and right way to evolve. Personally, I'd like to see more emphasis on the removal of pinks revealing stealth and the outplay potential of his R evolution. His W evolution has a large amount of AOE poke that doesn't really fit his kit. I also want to point out that you are saying that you want players to be able to adapt to both the current game state and their own play style. I really want to see what you guys can do with "their own play style", because it feels very promising for some polarizing Kha mains to emerge with strategies.
"Between his jump and his stealth, Kha’Zix has a lot of ways to stick to a target. Kha’Zix should be popping in and out of the fight and chunking you each time, then finishing you off."
This is what intrigues me most. One of my most favorite parts of Kha's thematic is his ability to orchestrate his movements from the air and fly around a team fight picking off those who have bad positioning. Using other low health players in order to quickly move towards key enemies is a beautiful thing both in its ability and the way it looks. This comes with a warning though. The idea of "popping in and out of the fight and chunking you each time" can be dangerous for how he works. Lengthening his windows of damage puts him in danger of telegraphing his movements too much and can attract other team members to the once isolated target.
#I understand his changes will be no where near game changing as he is a small rework focus, but as his main I still wanted to talk about my thoughts. I'm thinking of doing a similar post for Shaco, as I used to hardcore main him. What do you guys think?
