I think that this is more about the fact that they are both burst assassins with some sustained dmg and a stealth mechanic. Also, champions tend to have similar skill-to-key binding. Q is usually the major damage spell, W holds passive abilites or utility spells, while E acts as a gapcloser, CC spell, AA AoE enhancer or something similar. And R is of course ultimate.

I mean, look at Riven, for example, who is totally different from Kha:

Q: Epic dmg spell

W: Utility based spell

E: A dash

R: Ultimate

Or at Nunu, who is a support/jungler:

Q: Single target nuke (well, to monsters, but still)

W: Supporting utility spell

E: A slowing spell

R: Ultimate

Or at Lissandra, who is a mage:

Q: Nuke with small AoE

W: CC lockdown used to chain up other abilities

E: Tricky gapcloser

R: Ultimate

Or at Galio, who is mainly a tanky mage/tanky supp:

Q: Nuke with small AoE

W: Utility shielding spell

E: Hasting spell

R: Ultimate

Even Jayce, while being a transformer (pun intended) follows this setup:

Q: Single target nuke with small gapcloser/AoE nuke

W: Utility AoE spell, used for farming (also replenishes mana while attacking)/AS maxifier

E: Nuke with anti-gapcloser/hasting spell

R: Transform

This is being done mainly to make the League more intuitive and easier to understand for new players, while also it helps to keep nice coherence. While not every champ follows this setup, most of the new do. (Lucia does, Aatrox does, Lissandra does, Zac does, Quinn does, Thresh more or less does, Vi does, Nami does not at all, Zed more or less does, Elise does, Kha does, Syndra does, Rengar does, Diana does, Zyra does, Jayce does, Draven does, Darius more or less does, Varus does, Heca more or less does...)
