99% of Kha'zix damage isn't just in Q, but in Evolved Q, and only on isolated targets

I can not see how that is in anyway the most stupid design decision I have ever.

I also can not see how making his Q a must evolve or he does 0 damage contradictory to Riot's goal of giving Kha'zix players more options in evolution path in anyway.

I can not see how often someone will let themselves get isolated when a Kha'zix is around.

I also can not see the unparalleled awesomeness on using an evolution point on his W over his E or Q.

And what I definitely can not see is how Riot decided to make Kha'zix 100% isolation dependent when they initially buffed his Q in the first place SPECIFICALLY because nobody was STUPID enough to evolve his Q BECAUSE it only worked on isolated targets...and that was back when his isolation mechanic wasn't absolutely nerfed to oblivion...and back when his W was actually viable.

Then again I also can not see why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch, so what do I know?

Yeah I remember the whole reason they buffed Evolved Q was because "You get no benefits from it unless the target is isolated" (which is actually even less likely now that the isolation radius increased). Now they have gone back to the exact same thing :D

Which leads me to a theory that someone has a severe short term memory loss...

I'm glad you reposted this here as it needs attention, but i'm pretty sure Riot is just ignoring Kha'Zix at this point. For Christ's sake he wasn't even mentioned in the 4.12 patch forecast. I think he's just getting the mediocre Q base damage buffs and just left to rot like every other champion that isn't Lee Sin.

Maybe I just wasn't loud enough, because apparently crying is all you need to do to stop nerfs according to Morello.

Yeah that's why I've been periodically renewing a very narrow list of things I want Riot to take notice. Kha'zix's...unplayability. The immobile mages with outdated kits. And Essence Reaver.

Anyways as for Kha'zix. In my opinion, isolation bonus should only be a cherry on top due to how impossibly hard it is to achieve even by players in high level streams. Kha'zix should be PLAYABLE even if he can not always isolate the target, the isolation, rather than being a mandatory mechanic, should be a hyper rewarding mechanic that reflects how rarely it ever happens in ideal conditions nowadays.
