Kha'zix and Evelynn.

If you want to give a champion the ability to Stealth, fine. If you want them to be able to one-shot almost instantaneously, I guess so be it. But if you also want to give them escapes or resets to get out of the fray once they've entered, that's where the bullshit happens. Say what you want about Twitch (I hate him too), but at least when he shows to attempt to delete your entire team with 3-5 autos and E he is revealed and doesn't have any escapes outside of Flash. Kha'zix can stealth through every damn brush, delete a carry, then hop out towards and bush and he's gone. Bullshit. Evelynn can walk around stealthed, pick off a carry (or honestly even a bruiser her damage is so stupid), and R out to safety. Her damage is so high that sometimes she doesn't even need to use her R for the execute. The combination of Steath, One-shot potential, and escapes is absolutely toxic providing very little (if any) counterplay.

A good portion of the ADCs have an escape. Tanks are unlikely to be targets by these assassins (unless they were extremely fed). Supports have some form of CC or utility to at least give them a chance to escape. Fighters usually can take them out if they go mano a mano. Other assassins are a skill match up. Only group that suffers are mages. But even then, they can survive with their CC/utility.

Kha and Eve are melee, which forces them to get up and personal. If you don't want to give them escape, convert their kit into stealth fighters that kamikazes 3/5 of your team then.

Besides, they have to garner early lead asap or else they become kind of eh late game.

I disagree. Not only does Evelynn have a fair amount of counterplay that i'm not even gonna get into, she is melee which is a huge disadvantage for AP champions. This causes her to get blown up very easily in team fights. As someone who's played a very fair amount of Evelynn, if I walk into a teamfight, i'll hope to god I can pop my charm and a couple q's in time before r'ing out of there. My damage is very concentrated and even so, it's a very vulnerable position cause if I get cc'd I'm absolutely f*cked. Not only that, but if you disable her at early levels by invading or starving her if she tries to gank, she is absolutely useless during lategame. Like you said, she can R out of any situation but that's her whole theme. "Love 'em and leave 'em". She deals a lot of damage like an assassin should, then she SKRRRRTTSSS out of there. I can't necessarily speak for Kha'Zix as I've never played him, but I have never had trouble evading him. He can be very strong if fed but so can pretty much any champion tbh.
