When he was OP? You mean, when he was a bruiser? So, are you playing him as a bruiser? Because that would suck. Admittedly, so does assassin Kha, but more to that later. Lets talk about your idea. First, evolving E first. Ok, the question here is simple. What do you intend to do? Kill someone? How? You dont deal any damage. Less than you already do. When compared to, idk, just about every other offensive jungler, you barely manage to get less than half their damage.

Why would I pick Kha over Lee then? Especially since Lee can turret-dive better (q in, kill them faster because you have a lot more damage, W out, get the shield, survive with a higher likelyhood). Or Pantheon, who can also turret-dive better since he has a stun, ways of blocking turret-procs, and also much more damage. Additionally, by evolving E you made yourself bad at ganking. You have a melee slow that you need to first leap in range to proc, which is also pretty weak, very low damage, and nothing else. At least Pantheon, even with a lower range leap, has a stun and over twice your damage. So yeah, little reason.

Next, what do you do mid-game? Assuming you have your Q, you can finally do the one thing Kha is somewhat good at. Taking dragon. Problem is, that hardly matters because at that point EVERYONE is good at taking dragon. What else can you do? Gank people? Well, they are a lot tankier or deadlier now, while you still little damage until they are isolated. Problem is, the isolation range is so enourmous (Amumus ult range), that they wont ever be isolated unless they genuinely want to be isolated. Which would be a trap. Counterjungle? You clear slowly. Try to fight the jungler? Well, here your isolation finally might be coming into effect ... but they will probably beat you. Kha can not 1v1 most junglers. Especially if those get help, which they probably will.

Now, finally, late game. Well, its even worse here. At this point you are completely useless. You deal bruiser-level damage when they are isolated (which still never happens) when building full glass-cannon, and below-bruiser level (or almost TAN level) damage when they arent isolated. You also have no meaningfull cc or utility, cant pressure anyone, suck at splitpushing, suck at initiating, suck at peeling, suck at killing, or, simply put, suck at everything.

No, he isnt in a healthy spot. Thats just Riot being delusional, but then again, how often had they been wrong about Kha? Well, how many patches did we have since 4.3? That there is your answer. Not to mention, looking at their recent changes, well, they have been universally stupid.
