The W-Evolution of Kha'Zix needs a change

Usually Kha is about chosing and adapting, no?

Just why is it that I have 3 good evolutions and one crap one I never take? There's not much choice in this. And I think I know exactly what's wrong with it: it gives exactly the things Kha'Zix DOESN'T need. Why should a single target assassin suddenly need an aoe tool with a little slow attached? It makes no sense. All other evolutions help you to totally murder people. Spikes Evolution? Not so much.

Ok, possible changes:

1.) Increases the range and power of the shot by far. Targets hit are slowed and revealed. This would be to give him a long ranged assasination tool.

2.) Slight range increase, funtions as now, but can be recast 2 times. Would go good together with his ult I guess...

That's what I would propose... or do you guys have a better idea on how to turn an useless skil into a good one?

Actually the useless evolution is his ult. The W gives him really good chasing potential and utility.

Personally I think both his ult and his w evolutions are useless, I have never once thought "I'm glad I evolved my w/r I wouldn't have gotten that kill otherwise"

Hmmm not really. Increasing 2x1 seconds of stealth to 3x2 second is a extreme difference and helps extremely in teamfights. One second is not enough to sneak past the tanks, with 2 seconds you can actually get to these tasty squishy targets ^^ Also it reactivates his passive every time, giving him a slow - more usefull than hitting one time evo-spikes could give.

Even without the Evolved W Kha can already chase good - increased jump range + simply hitting non evolved W also gets the job done. There is simply no need to ever put an evo point in W...

maxing and evolving W was the way to go on khazix season 4.. it got nerfed a few times because it was so strong... in terms of "going all in" its not as good sure... but the idea behind it is to poke them down first. I would have to say evolving his R is the worst thing you can do. I would much rather have an AoE 50% slow than another stealth or second on it.

Yes I remember the time when he was released. You could actually shred the half enemy team by catsing triple spike midflight. Too bad they nerfed it... but as it is right now it's not really helpful. Usual Evo-order is Claws -> Leap -> Ult.

There is no way I would replace anything of that with the current W. The damage from claws is insane, the jump is needed anyway, especially the resets and I see no reason to take W over Ult at level 16...

Kha'zix just needs a buff in general.. he sucks in lane and is out classed in the jungle.

Actually, he's just fine right now, maybe a little weaker (really, just a little), but he does the job just fine. Especially the counterjungle is awesome once you evolve claws...

In lane... well he can go on toplane sometimes.

The only thing that bothers me is that his W evolution is so goddamn useless...

They were actually 100% the best thing to choose and they had to nerf it (or maybe it was buff the others) so the others were appealing too...

I personally feel Kha'Zix is crammed with more issues than anyone realizes, and that nobody adresses the fact that_ almost every aspect of him has some issue._
