Since you are nerfing Kha'Zix in the next patch, how about a change to Evolved Cloaking?

I think the point where Evolved Spikes became too good was when you made it reveal enemies you hit. That kind of utility is neat, but honestly feels excessive and misplaced on a harass tool.

On the other hand (and this is just me speaking), Evolved Cloaking is my least-favorite of Kha'Zix's evolutions. I almost never get it, except if I win a Hunt Event vs. Rengar. One extra stealth and doubled duration don't feel as useful to me as the other evolutions. However, since Riot is not allowing Kha'Zix to get back the damage reduction on it (because then he'll be too tanky), it needs a different utility.

So how about this?

- Evolved Cloaking grants an additional stealth, extends the duration of each stealth to 2 seconds, and reveals nearby enemy Champions (including stealthed enemy Champions) while you are stealthed.

- Evolved Spikes no longer reveals enemy Champions.

This fits more than giving vision to Evolved Spikes, IMO, as it mirrors Rengar's ultimate (thematically and gameplay-wise) and lets you play the sneaky hunter better by letting you track prey even if they try to hide.

Heck, it could even allow Kha'Zix to say a special line if he detects a cloaked Rengar!

Khazix : "You can't hide from me, Pridestalker!"

I think the main issue they have with Void Spikes is that it allows Kha'Zix to safely poke down anybody to the point where he can E-Q instagib them - apparently Kha'Zix is supposed to be opportunistic, so any ability that would allow him to be self-sufficient and consistently useful goes against his character fantasty. Or something like that.

yep.. thats what they said... they have problem with assassin having poke.. (ehm zed, yasuo, akali, kata.. hell everyone can poke the shit outta you, but in khas case its problem...)

not even sayin kha has lowest dmg out of all fighters (not assassins... fighters... bruisers have higher burst than him....)

kha is already weak as he is and is used as semisupport, not as assassin... another nerfs will put him in old-olaf tier...

edit: bruiser and support roles are further away from mantis assassin than poke and kill character... and still riot pushed him into those states...

Because then evolved R gives you Rengar's ultimate in addition to kha's normal kit.

In exchange, Evolved Spikes would no longer reveal enemy Champions struck by it.

This is situationaly better and more teamfight based than Rengars ultimate actually

I played Kha'zix during release, and if anything I want to try using one second stealth bursts.

I would love to have an ult with the vision effect during a fight. Rush to the back with a guy on low health only to get spotted and die.

rito needs to give him a kit rework his evolutions were supposed to be a tools that adapt him for diferent envirometns but they are simple upgrades atm , q deals more dmg, w shots more spikes, e jumps further away , and r just gives more stealth

the word adapt or evolwe means that you specialize yourself for certain task

but riot just made him upgrade himself, where his tools just become better at what they were doing already
