To make a summary of what happened with Kha'Zix: The joke "Better nerf Irelia" actually applies much better to him than to her. Or at least, it used to.

He was deemed too broken in the past, then Riot started to repeatedly nerf him, patch after patch, but they never could correct what made Kha'Zix so strong. The "nail on the coffin" was when they nerfed his ultimate to make it no longer reduce damage while stealthed. They also nerfed his {{ai|Taste Their Fear|Kha'Zix} so that it could no longer deal damage based on enemy's missing health, and it was much more reliant on being evolved to do any damage.

However Kha'Zix was still viable due to his, especially considering that they buffed it. Then they nerfed both the base damage and the cooldown from and the result is that now Kha'Zix is a very mediocre assassin that is ridiculously reliand on isolation, which is a mechanic that unfortunately does not rely on you being good with Kha'Zix, but on the enemies being dumb enough to be isolated against him. And even when isolated,. Riot finally nerfed what made Kha'Zix broken, but they forgot to revert his previous undeserved nerfs.

Kha'Zix needs some changes, for example, lowering the number of units which an enemy can be considered isolated. This would already be a great buff by itself. Another great buff would be making it so that towers once again no longer count as allies for the purposes of isolation. Seriously, towers are not there to protect you; it's you that is there to protect the towers.
