i'm in Chinese server, which has not updated to V4.9. but now i'm thinking Kha might still be a good mid after looking at Kha in V4.9, and i hope what i'm gonna say will help. you can play it as both a poker & a oppotunist. lets first consider its W damage and Ziggs' Q damage when they are both at lv.18. i assume the player is quite good at poke. if Ziggs has got Grail/ZH/Deathcap/Voidstaff/Sorcerer's shoes, which cost 12660 and give, along with masteries and runes, him AP higher than 500 (take 500 here), he can use 2 Q in less 8s, making damage (255+500*0.65)*2*2=2320 by hitting 2 unlucky guys each time. but if Kha has got Muramana/Elderlizard/LW/Liandry's Torment (yes, it's Liandry's Torment)/BootsofLucidity, which cost only 10650 and give, along with masteries and runes, him bonus AD higher 150 (take 150 here), he is able to deal even more damage than Ziggs by hitting 4 guys each W. how? lets first calculate the damage of W itself. it is (235+150)*4=1540, much lower than Ziggs' Q, right? but when i take the bonus true damage caused by ElderLizerd and extra magic damage dealt by LT, something awesome happens. it totally up to 50*4+0.12*10000(i assume the 4 guys' total HP is 10000)=1400. so the total damage is 1540+1400=2940!! unargubaly higher than Ziggs' Q. in fact, only when the total HP of the 4 guys hit by Kha's W is lower than 4700, Kha's W will be overshadowed by Ziggs' Q, in respect to damage. however, the function Kha's W is more than dealing damage. it also grants the vision of the target(s) and deals 50% slow down, which can be strategic. but there's a big problem about this way to play Kha, that is, you really need these 4 key items to gain both amazing pokebility and damn good ability to clear the site. before Kha gets these 4 items (or maybe Tear/Elderlizard/LW/LT), i can only say he's just mediocre at every ability. i thinking when you are playing Kha, you should remember to farm and kill monsters as much as possible since he's not super good at 1v1 even when confronting mid laners, but he's still able to perform pretty well in small scale team fight once he has evolved W and E and help top/jungle/bottom get some advantages. and try your best to avoid large scale confrontation before you get your key items. when you are team fighting, play him as a long-scale mage, but always keep searching for a good enough oppotunity to leap into the fight and kill someone. if you've got all 4 key items and evolved W/E/Q, go kick their asses.
