There are some flaws with those candidates dude.

Katarina has had a history of reworks removing and adding skilsl in accourdance to how well she is doing in matches. You'd have to ask the Katarina fans on the Katarina page like Blender-rina on how well she's doing balance wise they didn't like the ult NERF although it was technically a buff.

Heimerdinger was reworked now but it was in the making for several years after his initial release showed that he was unstoppable in lane and the string of nerfs made him unviable in competetive play.

Same thing I said about Katarina goes for Evelynn while Twitch and Xin Zhao also suffered from too strong at release syndrome.

Olaf was reworked because before the nerfs that ripped him out of the game some dude in competition sweeped the enemy with him. He was nerfed but was underpowered so they reworked him to make him more generally balanced.

Now you could nerf the ratios or increase the energy and basically hobble Lee Sin like crazy but that would mean he would have to be fixed up with a rework. Except that his kit is like not at all linear and has a lot of stuff going on with it so changing one skill would cause the change of another and another and you'd have to almost redesign a whole new champ Karma style which doesn't fit the parameters for why Karma was changed.

IE her kit didn't fit competetive play. Lee Sin's kit works in competetive play. Nerfing his damage would make him completely unviable and a rework for him would have to be massive and time consuming and well. He hasn't done any Olaf style competition sweeping so either so Riot's hand isn't being forced.
