You may say that Kha'Zix is not viable at lanes, but I played him and found that now the best way to build Kha'Zix is to build like before his W was nerfed. That is, with Muramana. I have played him at mid, and sometimes at top lane. The best way on my opinion, to build him is to max W > Q > E, charge a Tear, build armor penetration items, and a tanky item (Randuin's Omen is my favorite).

Especially on mid lane, where you want to poke your enemy before going all-in. You don't lose much as Kha'Zix is better at late-game, so preparing for late-game with Tear of the Godess isn't all that bad. And the toggle adds a lot of damage to Q and Kha'Zix' auto-attacks late game.

The reason why I prefer to max W first, instead of Q, even though W does not apply passive anymore, is because with the changes, Q does less damage when the enemy is not isolated, but the isolation range was nerfed. This skill is just too reliant on the enemy being isolated, most of time W will do more damage, and is ranged, so you can poke your enemy from a safe distance.

Early game it's somewhat rough to kill as he has little early game damage after the nerfs. But his late game hasn't changed that much. While Kha'Zix is weaker than other assassins, he is a lot tankier (I like to build him with Randuin's Omen to be able to 1x1 ADCs), has shorter cooldowns, and out of all assassins, he is the one which the mobility is the easiest to take advantage of (I don't know if that's because I like Kha'Zix more than other assassins, but I found that he is the easiest to properly position). So he is still one of the best assassins.

On my opinion Kha'Zix should not be labeled as weak, he may do less damage than other assassins, but he has other strengths too!
