Actually, nightmare, incorrect. You now, unlike before, cannot decide which ability to max and which to evolve. Its now all fixed. You always max w-q-e, you always evolve w-e-q. No changes possible.

And yes, he is back. But only in the competitive scene and very high elo. And why? Because he is a pure utility pick. And nothing but a utility pick. Its his w evolution that makes him viable. Remove the w evolution buff, and they will drop Kha like a hot potato. And no, he isnt like he was in the beginning. Back then, he was an assasin pick with very strong poke. Now he is a utility pick with extremely unreliable and usually weak damage, and mediocre poke. But he has a 50% 1000 range slow, so he is still strong.

The problem? He isnt strong in the right way. He fails to fulfill his theme. He is 100% reliant on his team. His evolutions are fixed, going against his theme of adapting and overcoming. His isolation requirement is incredibly unrealistic (its barely shorter than Amumus frikkin ult), and isolation packs 23% of his already subpar damage.

What they should have done is pinpoint the patch that made Kha problematic. 4.4. The patch where Kha was balanced prior to it. 4.4. The patch where the only issue people had with Kha was a clear misconception that could be disproven by very simple math (namely his damage being "too high"). 4.4.
