Why does Master Yi is being kept bad cause its "noob champ" but Khazix doing exact same thing is ok?

"Yi has only to Q" Khazix has Q on 4x less CD than Yi and deals 5x more damage. Wtf is that balance?

That a Kha'Zix can't steamroll a bronze team 5 times as fast

But he steamrolls everything above silver while Yi cant even steamroll bots in this elo.

Yi blinks out of the map, making him able to dodge skill shots. His attack also hits up to 4 targets and can be used at a distance. Kha'zix's attack hits only one and has to be in melee range

So he closes the gap with E and also has R to become untargetable. Same shit but still better.

not quite, Kha'zix can still be hit by skill shots and locked on effects. The fact that Kha'zix has to use two abilities to do what one already does for Yi contradicts you statement of Kha'Zix's Q's over poweredness. Yi's Ulti gives him a significant amount of movement speed and attack speed and is immune to slows.

Overall, the reason that Yi is so over powered at lower levels is because his Q allows him to dodge while attacking, W gives him healing and reduces damage, E passively increases his AD and switches to true when activated, R gives him movement and attack speed with extended duration for each kill and assist, which also reduces cool down for R, his passive also gives him double attack every few attacks making on hit effects and crit changes better. New players who haven't learned much about this champion don't know how to deal with all of these simple abilities and end up dying to an experienced player.

Kha'zix on the other hand has a kit that is better suited for more experienced players. Q boosts an auto attack, W gives him sustain and a ranged ability, E is a leap, R is stealth to reposition for a quick kill and boosts one of his abilities for each skill point, and his passive improves damage when he comes out of stealth.

TL;DR Yi is good in low elo, Kha'Zix is better for higher elo. However with this rework, Kha'Zix is easier to play making it possible to play in lower ranks.

Kha'Zix doesn't do the "exact same thing" as Master Yi. They aren't even the same class or subclass other than 'jungler'. This comparison doesn't really make any sense, if you want to make a balance post about Master Yi or Kha give specific examples and what you suggest to change.
