Yes. The appearance may look similar, but the whole kit is different.

Well one thing is for sure. both Kha'zix and Kabu'Naar appears as "anthropomorphic bug with giant bug wings", and I love Kha'Zix alot. :D

Tbh, Kabu'Naar was in my mind back in January. Kha'Zix must've been created back in 2011 similar as Diana was developed back in Nov 2011. All void creatures are insect looking champs, well from Tyranids.

Omen for instance got cancelled, so Riot decided to create a whole new concept of a Void champion known as Teek. (which didn't resemble Omen at all.)

But I'm not sure if Riot did take it from me. They did have a void champion on their pipeline back in 2011, but making Kha'Zix anthropomorphic structure similar as Nasus/Renek/Rengar is what confuse me.

(Well maybe not, Kha'Zix is obviously a Lictor, but Riot didn't want Kha'Zix to look grotesque.)

One thing to do is ask a Red about it. Once Kha'Zix gets released along with its concept artwork, we can know the date. :)
