Kha'Zix: Evolved Adaptive Cloaking

I've seen a change to Khazix at Surrender@20 and I gotta say that I am in a borderline disappointed as well as understand this kind of change. They keep proposing to change his ultimate, imo the most fun part of his kit:

> Void Assault (R) > Cooldown lowered from 100/90/80 to 90/80/70 > Active invisibility lowered from 1.5 seconds to 1.25 seconds > [Changed Effect] "Void Assault can be used again within 10 seconds of the initial use, up to 2 times total." > Evolved Adaptive Cloaking > [Changed Effect] "Void Assault's uses are increased to 3 within 10 seconds, and it's stealth duration in increased to 2 seconds"

I know the PBE changes are tentative but as far as I am concerned, Khazix has been a bit of a powerhouse lately with his better version of EvelynnTwitchRengar (Since he doesn't get revealed when he is actually close to someone), appearing to burst someone OUT OF NOWHERE (For the poor target), likely killing his target and he either stealths or leaps out of the places likely alive like it's nobody's business. What really annoys me is that this change is probably the same evolve as release Khazix without the Damage Redox so I am not sure if it is going to be a trash evolve or not. They are about to even reduce the stealth timer on his unevolved form.

I am very guilty of evolving this ultimate and abusing it, making him like S1 Evelynn. The fact that you stealth in a brush is the most fun thing I've ever played on Khazix as it opens up a lot of ganking paths and options. But I bet for the certain it wasn't so at the receiving end (Been there). It is a VERY POWERFUL ABILITY. So I am rather confused and annoyed with this change as it pretty much reverts his ultimate back to where he was before the Assassin update. The assassin update did well on the rest of his evolve kit however but the fact the development team fail to balance something around ONE ability he currently has really baffles me that why did he have such a powerful ability to begin with.

At least I like me some blue Kayn except for the whole jungle exp fiasco. Do you guys think this is an actual good change for Khazix ? Like a mini-Leblanc revert? I know if you hate the bug so much, you'll probably say yes... but if you actually enjoyed his "They'll never see me" aspect, then i'm sure you'll probably miss it as much as I will.

I feel like there is and should be a better way to balance around the kit that he has right now. What do you guys think?

It is a fun ability but it is cancer to fight against and no one but Kha players like it
