@Riot How I wish you would change Kha

I got virtually no responses on the thread I made on GD so I decided since all the reds are here I would try my luck for the first time ever at making a thread here.

For those who don't know who Kha is, this is him: Khazix (You would be surprised how many people don't realize who "Kha" is.)

Anyways, how I wish Riot would change Kha: I loved playing him assassin but recent changes have made that almost a no go and shifted his play style towards bruiser. Anyways this is what I would want to happen

  1. Remove the 50% damage reduction on his ult or lower it to something like 30%. (I feel this is why people play bruiser Kha)

  2. Remove the need to wait 2 seconds between ult casts as usually if you are playing assassin you would need to spam it to run if your E was down. (It does add counter-play to his kit so I wouldn't mind if it stayed)

  3. Make his W worth an evolution point by making it so when you evolve it all 3 spikes can hit the same target but only 1 spike would do full damage, the others would do 50% reduced damage. (This would also encourage people to use it as extra burst when close to someone instead of just poke)

  4. Give his Q back that extra 2% missing health damage, it didn't need to be removed in the first play as I felt the ult was what needed changing.

  5. If people still think his ult is to strong reduce the stealth time back to 1 second but re-add the reduced damage if stealth gimmick.

  6. They could also make it so when he evolves his ult he doesn't get an extra cast but instead just changes the stealth time to 2 seconds to nerf it if it is to strong.

  7. To add counter-play to his E have the cool-down increase if he does not use it aggressively but to escape or increase the cool-down a bit and have a gimmick where if he jumps directly on someone or near someone the cool-down is decreased a little.

This is all personal preference but I think these changes would help a lot to balance him and give him back most of his assassin play-style.

I think these are all good points, but an additional thing is that his ult reduces true damage. It just looks and feels weird Darius trying to dunk the "squishy" assassin and Khazix taking almost no damage.

I like all of these individually, but I'd be hesitant to restore his Q damage, and have his spikes reworked and have his ult stealth be available for 2 sec after evolution. I would be careful not turn him into another LeBlanc, with so much burst there's no counterplay.

Your point on the ult is recognized as a problem:

The damage reduction on his evolved Ultimate is one of the big culprits here, as there are no avenues of counterplay against him when he stealths (detect and kill him? run away? He has tools to avoid both!). Source

and I really wouldn't mind seeing it's DR gutted in favor of more assassin points in his power budget. And I really do like your idea of the ult evolution giving him increased stealth time (and possibly the ms as well?) for each charge instead of an additional charge.
