Thats what you say. I pointed out that, a, all reset champions do that under certain conditions, and b, that you should, in fact, be able to 100-0 someone under certain conditions. In Khas case, Isolation.

... His damage isnt my problem? Like, read through what i wrote. I increased his maximum damage by a whooping ... 0. Also, when the target is unisolated, then even his short cooldown doesnt make up for his weak damage. In fact, pantheons q, Talons q and, if you consider that 25% extra bonus ad means 25% higher ratio, Zeds e deal more damage. And zeds e is on an aoe. Also, how can you stall with a 1 second ultimate with 2 seconds inbetween casts?

You are meant to wait for someone to make a grevious mistake, and murder them. This mistake can be multifold, but the core mistake is going out of line as a squishy adc. And in that case, yes, you are absolutely meant to instantly kill them. You are a bloody assasin. You are meant to assasinate. Also, he cant even kill low hp targets with his resets if they arent isolated, since, yknow, if they arent isolated, his reset burst is roughly 700 before mitigation.

Bruiser Kha was actually nothing like that. He was that guy who jumped into you, sticked to your face and killed you in 6 seconds. And you couldnt really stop him. Fundamental playstyle difference.

Global presence is still huge. Also, "potential permaslow"? More like an 8 second slow at best. And thats just 25%, which is not particularly impressive. Red buff is better. Ranged aoe slow and reveal? Decent, but not particularly impressive. Especially with the short reveal. And im sorry, you wont have his ult evolved and his w evolved at the same time, so pick one. And in the end, we are talking about global presence+forced movement+aoe slow+initiation and a stun, and an autoattack blocker which can easily be 700 late game, versus some slows and a little movement speed that can easily be negated by using red trinket and murder you. Pantheon has far more utility. Like, for christs sake, by your logic Kha has more utility than bloody shen.

Err, w. You are less useless than Kha. Also, his w and hydra wont be up very quickly. So all you got is Q and E. Which, if the target isnt isolated, together with your aa, is 700 damage before armor. Meanwhile Tristanas W deals easily over 800 damage alone. And then we get lichs bane, too. Sure, Kha gets his damage back up earlier, but Tristanas resets are more powerful, and on top of that she can actually burst.

Nah, you cant 100-0 without your ult. You can 100-0 someone with only a third of the ult though. Which is the minimum time it will work for. Cast time and travel time, yknow? So Kat bursts better (and on an aoe), has far better resets and is overall vastly superior.

Nope. Its gonna be like this "he used Q, damn, now he is out of range, let me get closer, ok, here we go, dammit, cast time, oh god the stun projectile moves soooo slow, damn, my adc is already dead".

Its actually entirely true. Kha only got broken after the 4.4 changes. The last time before that that he was considered broken? Over a year ago, W evolution. Before 4.4 people believed he was broken because people believed his damage to be insane, which, as we know, is verifiably absolutely wrong. And even then, that was only Solo Q. In competitive, Kha was only played by Alex Ich, and even then only occasionally, because while it is his signature champion, he wasnt all that great. Why? Because they play competitively. They theory-craft. They do the math. And they saw that Khas damage in fact was not insane, but subpar at best.
