I'm still slightly confused as to how EXACTLY it makes him overpowered during laning-phase. He's not exactly the only character with mid-range AOE - nor is he the only champion with an on-demand slow.

AOE's mean nothing in laning phase, seeing as you'll be fighting one enemy at a time anyway. They only affect farming and teamfight damage. Therefore, the fact that it's an AOE doesn't mean anything. It's basically just making his farming incredibly mana-taxing.

Is the problem the slow? If so, why? There are plenty of champs with low-cooldown long-range cc's. Why is Kassadin's so "poweful" that it needs to be regulated? There are no charges on Zyra's root, nor on Ryze's immobilize, Galio's Resolute Smite, Gragas' charge, Kha'zix Spike Rockets(when evolved)... I could go on.

Why can their cc's remain unregulated while Kassadin's cannot?
