I love super long posts. Also thanks a ton for the feedback. The shield is kindof a nerf but I assumed the the enemy popping it in lane would be covered by the Q refreshing half the cooldown.

And yes the shield is kindof a nerf in regards to strength, but it doesn't relly on ranks in Q which was kin of the point. It is now part of his resistance to magic, instead of "one of my abilities protects me kindof when I am close enough." I have never put ranks in Q beyond the first at first level. After that I tend to focus on W.

I personally see it as a buf as you also don't need to target someone with Q. If you are out of range you can just W and take a bit of the damage off. It gives hime more defensive options.

Also with the ult, I was considering making the damage ramp reversed, making it deal most damage at lower stacks, and lose damage the more you use it. That is what an assassin should be, in my oppinion. Fail your burst? well you need to run or die. Which kassadin is still good at running even with my changes to his R.

Those are just my oppinions. Thoughts?
