Actually, none of those champions are bruisers. Kha, Zed, Talon, Panth and even Lee sin to a lesser extent are all assassins. Assassins are designed to blow up squishy, high priority targets, like APCs and ADC's. Bruisers are designed to peel and zone by a combination of tankiness and damage output. Bruisers are generally better at murdering ADC's than APC's because ADC's have a very weak early game, and if they cannot farm up items they are useless. As long as an APC can gain levels, they will still maintain a solid portion of their effectiveness. They may not be able to instagib things, but they still have the utility of their kits to fall back on.
