Kassadin..

[quote=Napoleon D][img=http://imageshack.com/a/img163/2928/ird5.png] FML NO MORE FREELO FOR ME. Kass is the only mid laner i can actually play :/ [quote]General Magic Resist per level reduced to 0 (from 1.25) Null Sphere Base damage reduced to 80/115/150/185/220 (from 80/130/180/230/280) Silence duration changed to 1.5/1.75/2.0/2.25/2.5 seconds (from 1/1.4/1.8/2.2/2.6) Mana Cost reduced to 70/75/80/85/90 (from 70/80/90/100/110) Riftwalk Base damage increased to 80/100/120 (from 60/70/80) Base damage per Riftwalk stack reduced to 50/55/60 (from 60/70/80) Added 0.1 Ability Power ratio per stack Now refunds 50% of the total mana cost when Riftwalk damages an enemy champion [/quote] The patch seems like a nerf to kassadin but its actually a buff to kassadin increased riftwalk damage OP.[/quote]

[quote=H4xDefender]Kassadin was already permabanned at my elo and I assumed it was all ELOs the fk. It is definitely not a buff though.[/quote]

[quote=utopus]I thought the way to counter kassadin in lane was to just get a ranged AP mid who can push really hard, and just autoattack him a bunch when he tries to Q you, or a minion. Hax is right. While the silence duration seems like a plus, it's hard to really notice it in lane. Rather, you'll certainly notice your [[null sphere]] doing 60 less damage at level 9. That'll be annoying >.<[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000]I think the best way to counter him is to send your duo lane mid, but even then if he happens to randomly pick up a kill or two during mid game you could still be screwed. And good luck making it work in solo queue. He's a broken champion and has been for a while, fk him.[/quote]

[quote=Satella]If I get mid against Kassadin I'll take [[Riven]] all day every day. It's the freest lane ever, if he has no flash you get a free kill any time he comes even remotely close to Q a minion. Also if he uses Q you have 8 seconds to do whatever the fuck you want and he can't answer. Just don't Q minions too much or he'll max E and make your life slightly more miserable.[/quote]

[quote=Napoleon D]Here's the thing with [[kassadin]]. You can make him 0-10 you can deny him to the point of 1 creep. [[Riftwalk]] is the most broken ultimate in the game. The Ease of roaming with him is ridiculous. Kassadin's strength is roaming to other lanes and screwing them over not winning his own lane. Usually 1 or 2 kills from roaming with [[kassadin]] = GG. And [[kassadin]] snow balls heavily. I haven't seen a [[kassadin]] that gets ahead lose the game.[/quote]

[quote=H4xDefender]only real counters to him i've seen are GOOD rivens and pantheon. and 2v1ing him if that counts. other then that, most "counters" to him dont really stop him. and the loss of the mr really hurts[/quote]

[quote=I post stuff]Can't even gank the guy properly; he just [[riftwalk]]s away and laughs at you most of the time. Then he laughs at your counterpick after getting 5 kills from roaming. Stupid champ. He's broken and toxic like [[fizz]].[/quote]

[quote=Joxuu]Dunno about banning [[Kassadin]] in every level. I've seen like... 2-3 good ones troughout my whole ranked history. Only 2-3 that have actually carried a rubbish team in victory. [[Kassadin]] is not permabanned in platinum games at least, not even picked that often even if it is open and I rarely see it banned or picked in gold V - gold III games either. Myself I tend to ban it however, if I'm first pick, but I guess it is more domimant pick and more important ban in higher plat / diamond. (Maybe this is just me again)[/quote]

[quote=Vapora Dark]Yeah in high plat Kass is perma-banned, it's been a veryyyyyy long time since I've seen a Kassadin. It was a nerf, but not harsh enough from what I can tell, though I haven't seen him played since the nerf ( y'know, permaban nd shit ).[/quote]
