His entire kit screams assasin, thats why he should be an assasin. Sadly, thats not how he was played, and thats not what he was broken as. Broken Kha was the one who got only 1 or 2 damage items and went tanky otherwise. Assasin Kha didnt do jack.

Almost correct. He was created in the image of a predator who kills weaker enemies (squishies) when they are alone (isolated). He is a Xenomorph. He isnt focused on hunting hurt targets, but on hunting lone, weak targets. Lone marksmen. Lone squishy mages. He cant do that.

2 second CD requires a lot of cdr. In fact, it requires 40%. On top of that, thats only when isolated. When unisolated its far from insane. In fact, Pantheons q is vastly superior against unisolated targets. And then we get melee carries.

"not much of her damage is reset" in case of Kha, its none. Its just that his Q has a relatively short cooldown, but even thats only a small part of his damage, especially when unisolated. In comparision, Tristanas W is actually significant damage. you know, 250 +0.8, which is very high scaling for a basic ability.

"you literally use one cc on her and boom, there goes all your damage", actually, you still get off at least 1/3 of your ult, due to cast time and travel time. Also, you act like its any different for Kha. Its not. On top of that, Katarinas resets are far more threatening. She deals far more damage, and does it quicker. You know, since blinks are superior to dashes.

You never saw a good Yi then. He goes for your adc, and if you dont stop him by bursting him down or ccing him time, kills your carry in a second. Lots of attack speed, his e, botrk, you get the idea, its pretty brutal. The problem with stopping him? He can dodge just about anything. If the Yi is really good, then he will be a problem. This is why Yi, while having a low skill floor, actually has an exceptionally high skill ceiling.

Aa, hydra w. Thats the other half. Course, if you get an autoattack, then you have about 3/5 of your damage, but thats not gonna save you either. And if your q is unisolated, like it will be if you reset, then q and e are just 1/3 of his damage, and with his autoattack he has roughly 1/2 of his damage.
