Talk:Kassadin/@comment-15280970-20140203014056

Seems like his rework will take a lot to balance, but it takes the essential OP thing: the problem with kassadin of course wasn't his 5s cd flash, but his FREE DMG. His kit allowed him to throw all his shit to you and walk away without you being able to retailate or cc him. Now he needs to get into melee range to do his burst.

Now what creeps me is his new build:

Old build: ROA-ARCHANGEL-RABADONS-VOID STAFF-ZHONYAS-BOOTS

Now which one of these may be remplaced by lich bane?

Roa, converting kassadin into a glass cannon.

Void staff: stopping him from any chance to kill someone with MR

Zhonyas: taking out tankiness and that stasis for riftwalk CD

or... boots, taking Ms quints and lich bane for 378 ms since he has 3s flash.
