I was replying to the guy above that called him a tank. See the first comment.

When I say that does not have abilites that scale with defenses, I mean that he does not have an damaging ability like  or, which are abilities that let true tanks do at least some damage instead of being just meat shields. Some tanks like do not have such habilities, but they do have damaging abilities that do damage based on the target's maximum health. Kha'Zix has neither of those two sort of abilities. Even can do full tank (I did it once - apart from Blade of the Ruined King, you can do the rest of his build tanky because he does damage based on the enemy's health).

He does not even have huge base damage. Many tanks/bruisers rely on their bases to do solid damage to enemies. However, the base damage from Kha'Zix abilities are just plain horrible. Fortunately, they have amazing scalings. This means that two damaging items are usually enough for Kha'Zix to do solid damage, and then he can build defenses or more damage, depending from what his team needs.

Oh, and apart from Lee Sin and Renekton, I cannot imagine any other bruiser that can easily dash or jump to enemies. All bruisers that come to my mind, for example: Nasus, Trundle, Darius, etc - they all have to run to the ADC and as such they run the risk of being kited. Due to his Leap, Kha'Zix cannot be kited unless:

1) He wastes his.

2) He is CCed when he uses Leap ( and can do that)

3) You escape or disengage from him when he uses Leap ( and can do that)
