Is Kassadin Really, in all honesty, OP?

And no, just facerolled a Kassadin mid as Brand. Even though I gave up a kill when I was 1/0/0 on his 0/1/0 (sloppy pushing and jarvan gank on me). Continued to own the lane.
If you for some reason want to follow my ranked journey to gold, you can do it Here.

I am against asking for rep, only rep me if you think I contributed well or said something wise.

I play J4 mid and roll any AP.

If you're insistent on playing an AP mid, LB rolls him as well.

I'm very glad 18 people voted no and only 0 people voted yes.

Faith in the League community has been restored...a bit.

I sometimes ban him because I just cannot run the risk of my mid feeding him like crazy.
At least with LB, people don't know how to make her work well.

Dunno about stuns and snares shutting down kass, since veigar goes and cries <.>

The reason everyone bans him is because there is always that 1 idiot on you team who doesn't know how to deal with him and therefore if he isn't banned that 1 guy will complain all game and feed -__-. Also another reason he is banned is because he is hard to gank/kill if you aren't corrdinated which in solo queue usually you aren't.

As a kassadin player in normal,I think Kass can be shut down early.
Just always gank mid pre-6,and by always i mean a lot.
If you managed to kill kass twice pre-6 then i think you'll have a good time.

However if your jungler doesn't care and let kass farm.
Your mid is most likely to have a bad time.

I dunno about ranked yet but I can normally hard counter most mids in normal with kass.
But sometimes there's some junglers who gank early and caught me in suprise and I was ****ed.
I remember getting 0/2/0 pre-6 because of voli ganks =[

I think Kass has a good amount of potential in the hands of a strong player with a coordinated team. You have to guarantee he won't be shut down early game though, so that means you generally need to see their AP mid first.

He's definitely not OP and I wouldn't consider him ban-worthy in most levels of soloqueue. You might ban him situationally if he'd ruin your team comp somehow, but definitely not worth a permaban.

(Btw LZ, I read all of your posts like a poem because your paragraphs look like stanzas. It's rather amusing. :P)
Thanks to Minho for the sig!

Lux can actually beat him so hard in lane. Shield at level 2 negates ALL his q damage, and at lvl 6 one snare means a kill.

Many thanks to MissMaw, LaCorpse, Xiron, Arcana3 and Joxuu for making me sigs!

It's true about the stuns and snares. He dies
so easily when he gets hit and then focused down.
ALso, yes it's funny actually. Because Lux does or
can pose a challenge in mid vs Kassadin. I hate
going against Lux myself. She's so annoying.
I doubt her shield negates everything though, not
if you focus Null Sphere, his Q.

And hahaha PsiGuard. It's nice to know you find
it amusing. I just like to keep my sentences shorter
than most, as I think it makes it more easy on the
eyes of the readers in the long-run. Since the
eyes don't have to move so much, as compared to
when you just keep writing and let it auto-linebreak.
But perhaps, perhaps I should begin rhyming. That
would add some class to my little poems eh! Hahaha.
