Alright, lets talk about Khas current problems. Viability is not as much of a problem anymore, he is now somewhat viable. The problem however is that he fails to fulfill his design, or his "fantasy" as riot puts it. This wasnt the case before, but certainly is now. There are 2 core "fantasies" to Kha. Lets go over both.

First, the Alien-ish thing. The monster that stays hidden, waits for you to get out of line before it slaughters you and goes back to hiding. This one is mostly fulfilled, except that the requirement is off. Its not getting out of line/isolating yourself, its being deserted. You have to be in a different place than your team to be isolated. Basically, there are 2 realistic ways you are isolated. 1, your team is aced, 2, you went off to a lane alone to push it and he clears the wave. This one is easily fixed, reduce the range.

The second one is a bigger problem, and harder to fix. The evolving/adapting traits. Basically, the idea is that he "evolves and overcomes". You evolve depending on the situation to deal with it. His current state couldnt be farther from this. Right now, there is one, and only one possible evolution way. WEQ. Nothing else. These 3 are forced evolutions and you cant even mix them up. This has to be fixed by making his q and his w not mandatory while giving his ult evolution some power back. Which means, Q isolated damage without evolution has to be much higher, so that the evolution only adds a bit of damage, not 20% of your entire burst and 40% of your sustained damage. W also has to be nerfed slightly, as currently its the only reason Kha is picked, namely its utility. He is picked for the huge ranged slow coupled with the 2 second reveal. Noone picks him for his damage. Hell, when you see him gank top lane, which is currently tank dominated, in lcs, he deals less damage than the top laner despite having more damage items. Thats sad.

Tl;dr reduce isolation range, revert w buff, increase unevolved isolated q damage, improve ult evolution (or ult in general).
