Path 4.4 analysis

[quote=Vynertje]Kassadin's damage on R got nerfed into the ground and is more of a 3-sec flash. His damage is way lower than before and it's all gonna be about how highly people value that mobility over a terrible laning phase.[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]Question though, possibility of jungle [[Kassadin]] seeing viability now with his W changes? Pros: Moderately beefy now (Vs AP) with his item path High ass mobility Likely decent or good clearspeed with his W. Insane slow and channel interrupter. Cons: No hard CC. Easy to kill early (if physical)[/quote]

[quote=Khazem]3 seconds cooldown on his ult seems a bit ridiculous though x_x if nothing else he will be god damn unkillable[/quote]

[quote=DillButt64]i had the same thought as OTG, a tanky jungle kassadin just to annoy people flashing all over the place building a ton of mana and CDR items, tear+iceborn+FH, with a 3 sec+40% CDR(1.6ish second?) flash that scales with mana, which means your force pulse slow will almost always be up, and youll also not really run out of mana if you build a ton of it with new W active, Q seems kinda lame unless it also blocks CC like morgs black shield i might try him like that in a few normal games just to see how it works[/quote]

[quote=Darealone]The [[elise]] jungle nerfs are real. The [[kog'maw]] [[bio-arcane barrage]] is kinda nice. Makes it spammable and makes him slightly safer since it can technically be his permanent range for AAs. Kinda... My [[annie]]...it kinda hurts. The AP ratios are meh.[/quote]

[/quote]Ap ratios are good buff to late game not sure how you build her tho.[/quote]

[quote=Cooper112]Kass still will be strong in solo q at least lower tiers like bronze-gold where not as many wards and he has his ult to roam.[/quote]

Having to charge most of pulse before ganks when it is your only aoe spell beside ult also sucks, and hes gonna hog the blues.[/quote]

[quote=FalseoGod]Either way I think [[kassadin]] needed a chance to disappear for a bit, even if they tweak his numbers later on, I'm tired of this "ban-or-pick" aura about him since early season 3. He's like Flavor of the Season or something.[/quote]

[quote=BlueArtist]So the limelights are all on the [[Kassadin]] changes.. I mean honestly there has been many patches having incessant [[Kassadin]] changes. This is slightly different from the others, and it went into its structures and all, not just the tweaks on the number. What do they exactly want on [[Kassadin]]? The new changes seem to orientate him to a more tanky DPS kind of champion. 3 second ulti? Kassadin is definitely not mobile enough.Quoting a reddit thread, "Well, goodbye old Assassadin, hello new... strange mana-Tankadin."[/quote]
