I just recently had the odd thought of a Kassadin playing as tank. I have not yet experimented with it, but the 15% damage reduction from seems to be a good place to start. Giving practically any (except entirely squishy) champ a gives good AoE and is more than enough health. With possibly a little more mana regen, Kassadin could practically circles around the enemy team with (being his most powerful attack) at his exposure more efficiently than any 1v1 fight or laning.

Just an idea... and I will soon be looking into this and return with more detail. Maybe even post a build based on all the feedback I get. Try different things and let me know what you think. XD

You can edit your post.
It may work like any joke build will but it mayn't work well due to Kass being such a poor farmer.

Of course armor/mage resist of any form will depend on the enemy team.

Loving the Frozen Heart.

And from what I understand, the poor farmer tanks jungle until SFC. Kassadin's daring usage of could be used as somewhat a small AoE farming tool (daring, because the requirements to use it and the much better use for it).

A recent solo 5v5 que was disturbing, but well played. We lost because of an early leaver, but fought well. I ended with 14/5/18 (the most kills and assists by either team).

I played DPS, slowly taking over the position as tank with only .

With blue buff, the mana regen isn't really a problem since Kass auto-attacks everything near him and team fights often occur near minion waves anyway.

...

I was also thinking about being an excellent item all around for AP, mana regen, CDR, and extra attack speed for to be even more effective.

Just played another game, except this time que with 2 friends for a 5v5, mostly DPS until late game and ended up 10/5/14 with .

So far it's going well enough, but I'm going to focus on early/mid game tanking as well (given the definition of early game tanking... ?).

So far, I just end up being a DPS/Carry that's really hard to kill. I like damage output too much, I suppose. :P

is definitely not a tank item at all, obviously.

After playing a ridiculously long game and standing in my base fending off the countless minions and random backdoor attempts with Heimer while our Sivir and Yi tried to push for the win, I got somewhere with more ideas. XD

I love this idea... I think I'll give it a shot next time my friends are busy and I'm solo queuing.
