Played tons of games with him...saw OGN matches with him...and now Sykkuno has a new video featuring him. 
Kha'Zix...is he a thing now?
So assassins besides Kassadin are kinda poo poo now and champions with stealth abilities are now strong. So does that make Kha'Zix all that now? What I think is that since many assassins where nerfed and Kassadin is basically a perma ban then he has actually become a REAL pick now. Not exactly a perma ban himself but rather a viable pick. He does well with what seems to be siege comps...maybe poke comps (still working on figuring team comps out).
Looking at it...here are some pros and cons that I think come into play when picking Kha'Zix:
Pros:
+Can assassinate just as many mid laners do
+Strong poke
+Strong wave clear if evolving Void Spike
+Can become monster if snowballed and go poo poo on anyone
+Has a minor stealth ability
Cons:
-AD Champion so most of your team will be AD which means the other team just has to build armor and not MR (Why hello 5 Randuin's Omens)
-Early game seems pretty rough
-Could get pooped on by other mid laners
So...is he a real viable pick nowadays?
Some questions from me:
-Is he a strong roamer?
-Does he make sense for a pick comp where they just jump on one person and poop on them?
A lot of this is my opinion and thoughts on him. Tell me what you think in the comments!

He does not have strong poke. Also evolving W is pretty awful now. Q and E are much higher priorities early on and R pretty much outclasses the W evolution. Since it doesn't let you proc your passive damage on multiple targets anymore, it's not really worth the evolution.
Stealth isn't that minor. It's pretty much just as strong as Vayne's stealth and gives him a speed boost. More importantly, it lets you get multiple successive passive procs.
AD mid doesn't guarantee that your team will be all AD. You might have a
Only few times I met bad Kha (obviously guys were playing him for first time), and I destroyed him with Vi any time I met him in jungle or in lane. Other than that, if he jumps at you, with the right item set, he can do 1v2, sometimes even 1v3.
My friend started to play Kha recently - jungle and mid. If he gets the chance to earn gold and evolve, we never lose the game.
But I really don't know why is this happening. It sems like he is either broken or just easy to play.. (or my ELO and experience is too low to properly counter him)
