course you can kite slowed. i mean, we are talking about the carry here. yknow, the guys that deal upwards of 400 damage with each attack and needing approx 0.17 seconds per attack? the thing is, in order to deal maximum or rather dangerous amounts of damage without being excessively fed, kassadin needs to be close. he wont be able to hit the adc with ult just like that, losing a lot of potential burst. so, yeah, its not free. if you want to have good damage you need to be very close, at which point its a situation about every champion could have used like that. and blinking isnt easy. those champions you named, think about them again. what do they have in common? they actually dont have a combo that has them blinking on the enemy directly. fizz uses ult first, ccs the target then goes in with e. or he goes in with e, doesnt hit the adc uses q to get close, uses dfg and ult. leblanc usually goes w q ult e, with the w not hitting the enemy adc. zed uses w to get closer first, meaning 2 dashes. kassadin has none of this. he needs to be close, unlike leblanc. he has no long range cc like fizz and he has no 2 dashes like fizz and zed. now, why dont any of those blink on top of the adc? simple. it doesnt work. again, you seriously expect the adc to just be within 700 range of you, not using their escape to go away, the frontline and support of the adc to just stand there and do nothing? nope. not gonna happen.
